			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Again, for the time being this post will be published in Spanish, I might translate it soon though.</p>
<p>Vivimos en la era de las máquinas &#8220;inteligentes&#8221;, presenciamos constantemente la ubicuidad de la cibernética y en este contexto ha aparecido una vanguardia creativa en la que tanto la novedad como la innovación tecnológica se suceden a gran velocidad y de modo muy caótico. La elevada complejidad de las distintas áreas de conocimiento implicadas en estos procesos y su interrelación son una constante. Así pues, en esta vanguardia creativa cibernética en la que confluyen distintas y dispares áreas de conocimiento, cuando un equipo pretende desarrollar un proyecto se produce con cierta frecuencia el encuentro, y en ocasiones desencuentro, entre las personas que proporcionan conocimientos asociados al arte (o derivados) y las personas que proporcionan conocimientos asociados a la ciencia (o derivados). Comprometer unos u otros conocimientos, según &#8220;convenga&#8221;, no parece ser la mejor solución.</p>
<p>Lo genuinamente característico de esta vanguardia creativa es pues la novedad y la innovación tecnológica junto con la velocidad y el modo caótico en que se suceden ambas, así como la elevada complejidad e interrelación existente entre algunas de las distintas áreas de conocimiento implicadas.</p>
<p>No es, sin embargo, genuinamente característico de esta vanguardia creativa el encuentro arte-ciencia. Esto último es ya clásico, es más, la separación arte-ciencia no siempre estuvo ahí. En efecto, existen numerosos ámbitos académicos y/o profesionales (no originados precisamente en la era cibernética) en los que conocimientos artísticos (y artesanales) confluyen con conocimientos científicos (y tecnológicos) para producir, con gran satisfacción, los resultados esperados. Dos claros ejemplos de lo anterior serían la arquitectura y la cinematografía pero habría muchos más. Estos son, efectivamente, ámbitos académicos y profesionales que implican, cada uno de ellos, múltiples áreas de conocimiento, algunas de naturaleza más artística y otras de naturaleza más científica. En ambos casos las distintas y dispares áreas de conocimiento están perfectamente definidas y delimitadas (descomposición del conocimiento requerido), y con ello las responsabilidades de las personas involucradas (distribución del conocimiento proporcionado). Podría decirse que en ambos casos el &#8220;puzzle multidisciplinar&#8221;, introducido en el artículo anterior, fue resuelto hace ya tiempo. Algunas consecuencias de que esto sea así son evidentes: los vocabularios están suficientemente compartidos, las interacciones y roles están bien establecidos, en definitiva, la comunicación <em>puede</em> producirse adecuadamente sin grandes impedimentos.</p>
<p>Ahora bien, teniendo en cuenta lo anterior ¿cabría esperar que los modos de trabajo que han resuelto efectivamente el encuentro multidisciplinar arte-ciencia en ámbitos académicos y/o profesionales tales como la arquitectura o la cinematografía sean igualmente válidos para resolver efectivamente el encuentro arte-ciencia en ámbitos académicos y/o profesionales de la vanguardia creativa en la era cibernética? Dicho de otro modo, ¿cabría esperar poder resolver el encuentro arte-ciencia en ámbitos académicos y/o profesionales de la vanguardia creativa en la era cibernética de forma similar a como se ha resuelto en otros ámbitos académicos y/o profesionales más clásicos? Es más, ¿cabe siquiera esperar que la analogía del &#8220;puzzle multidisciplinar&#8221; sea aplicable en ámbitos académicos y/o profesionales de la vanguardia creativa en la era cibernética?</p>
<p>Mi opinión es claramente que no en ambos casos. En efecto, basta con reconocer que las características esenciales de la vanguardia creativa en la era cibernética son los aspectos mencionados anteriormente de constante novedad, innovación tecnológica, etc. para, rápidamente, poder aceptar que la propia naturaleza cambiante, caótica y compleja de las distintas áreas de conocimiento implicadas exige una estrategia de conocimiento alternativa. En concreto exige una estrategia que pase por no tener que resolver constantemente el problema de la descomposición del dominio y distribución de los subdominios de conocimiento requerido y proporcionados respectivamente, pues se trata de un problema que no solo es cambiante y caótico sino también complejo. Es importante destacar que la naturaleza cambiante, caótica y compleja (en definitiva dinámica) de las distintas áreas de conocimiento implicadas se puede poner de manifiesto no solo de un proyecto a otro, sino incluso durante el desarrollo de un mismo proyecto. Y es precisamente debido a esta naturaleza dinámica que ni siquiera sea aplicable la analogía del &#8220;puzzle multidisciplinar&#8221;.</p>
<p>La multidisciplinariedad constituye una estrategia de conocimiento que permite resolver el <em>encuentro</em> multidisciplinar arte-ciencia en ámbitos académicos y/o profesionales esencialmente estáticos tales como la arquitectura o la cinematografía.</p>
<p>La interdisciplinariedad constituye una estrategia de conocimiento que permite resolver el <em>desencuentro</em> multidisciplinar arte-ciencia en ámbitos académicos y/o profesionales esencialmente dinámicos tales como los de la vanguardia creativa en la era cibernética.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the time being this post will be published in Spanish, I might translate it soon though.</p>
<p>Especialmente en el contexto de las artes y medios visuales ocurre frecuentemente que los proyectos tienden a implicar, cada vez más, distintas (por no decir dispares) áreas de conocimiento, las cuales podrán estar o no representadas por disciplinas. Un área de conocimiento está o no representada por una disciplina según haya sido o no efectivamente institucionalizada, bien académicamente o bien profesionalmente. Se puede decir que cualquier disciplina representa un área de conocimiento, pero no que cualquier área de conocimiento está representada por una disciplina.</p>
<p>Se dice que un <em>proyecto</em> es multidisciplinar cuando el dominio de conocimiento requerido admite un recubrimiento exclusivamente en términos de múltiples disciplinas. Se dice que un <em>equipo</em> es multidisciplinar cuando todos los subdominios de conocimiento proporcionados por las personas que lo componen están representados por bloques disciplinares (con una o más disciplinas). En este contexto, la clave reside en la dificultad que supone tanto para el proyecto la <em>descomposición</em> del dominio de conocimiento requerido en disciplinas separadas, como para el equipo la <em>distribución</em> de los subdominios de conocimiento proporcionados por las personas que lo componen en bloques disciplinares (con una o más disciplinas) separados.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="multi-wireframe by pablo ripolles, on Flickr" href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7209/6939466660_baa050d9c4_c.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Proyecto multidisciplinar" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7209/6939466660_baa050d9c4_c.jpg" alt="multi-wireframe" width="480" height="340" /></a></p>
<p>Como analogía cabría referirse a la dificultad que supone resolver el &#8220;puzzle multidisciplinar&#8221;. La falta de un vocabulario compartido entre los distintos miembros del equipo que están en contacto disciplinar acaba dificultando seriamente la comunicación. No obstante, en los ámbitos en los que tanto la descomposición como la distribución del conocimiento tienden a ser frecuentemente similares, la multidisciplinariedad como estrategia de conocimiento suele resultar particularmente efectiva.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="multi-color by pablo ripolles, on Flickr" href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5116/6939466754_8f447b1a43_c.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Proyecto multidisciplinar" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5116/6939466754_8f447b1a43_c.jpg" alt="multi-color" width="480" height="340" /></a></p>
<p>En los ámbitos en los que el dominio de conocimiento requerido no admita un recubrimiento exclusivamente en términos de múltiples disciplinas, es decir, no admita una descomposición multidisciplinar, habrá que optar por una estrategia de conocimiento alternativa. En estos casos, suelen aparecer subdominios del dominio de conocimiento requerido que no están siendo representados por ninguna disciplina, dando lugar a lo que se conoce como áreas de conocimiento interdisciplinar.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="inter-wireframe by pablo ripolles, on Flickr" href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5350/6939466818_e27973c427_c.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Proyecto interdisciplinar" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5350/6939466818_e27973c427_c.jpg" alt="inter-wireframe" width="480" height="340" /></a></p>
<p>La simple presencia de algún área de conocimiento interdisciplinar implicaría, potencialmente, la presencia de algún conocimiento requerido por el proyecto que no estaría siendo proporcionado por el equipo, y esto, sin una estrategia de conocimiento alternativa, podría llegar a suponer el fracaso de un proyecto y su equipo.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="inter-color-unsolved by pablo ripolles, on Flickr" href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7203/7085541149_9e74cd5904_c.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Proyecto interdisciplinar (no resuelto)" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7203/7085541149_9e74cd5904_c.jpg" alt="inter-color-unsolved" width="480" height="340" /></a></p>
<p>La interdisciplinariedad surge como estrategia de conocimiento alternativa y resulta particularmente efectiva a la hora de recubrir las áreas de conocimiento interdisciplinar mediante nuevas e improvisadas disciplinas. La solución pasa pues por extender el conocimiento de las disciplinas presentes más allá de sus fronteras, de forma tal que se acabe pudiendo proporcionar el conocimiento requerido.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="inter-color-solved by pablo ripolles, on Flickr" href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5458/7085541243_8b466d7015_c.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Proyecto interdisciplinar (resuelto)" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5458/7085541243_8b466d7015_c.jpg" alt="inter-color-solved" width="480" height="340" /></a></p>
<p>Llegado este punto cabría preguntarse lo siguiente. ¿Cuáles podrían ser los motivos por los que un área de conocimiento dada pueda no haberse constituido todavía como disciplina? En mi opinión y teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, los motivos bien podrían tener que ver con alguno de los siguientes aspectos:</p>
<ul>
<li>Defecto de investigación.</li>
<li>Exceso de conservadurismo académico y/o profesional.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the afternoon of Sunday 25th, I went to Nakano. Nakano is a metro/train station, there is a big central boulevard street with many shops and a tight network of little streets again with many shops. It is amazing the amount of commerce that takes place in this city. It is impressive the fine grained variety of offered products. I think that both aspects directly contribute to 1) in Japan the crisis will not be felt as deep, 2) in Japan nobody really succeeds in avoiding the need of induced consumption. Yes, I know these pictures are not so interesting, but I just wanted to show a bit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the exhibition I met many, many people&#8230; but not many contacts developed into something more interesting. <a href="http://tewosasaki.web.fc2.com/" target="_blank">Tewo</a> and <a href="http://www.kiborio.com/" target="_blank">Kiborio</a> where really nice and sweet from the very beginning, later we crossed emails and finally we enjoyed this great meal. They introduced me to Kaz, Endo, Makishima, Masui Kun and Shoko. I&#8217;m very grateful for having shared this wonderful meal and fantastic conversation with them. Even we are coming from different cultures and different backgrounds it was a beautiful surprise to see how close we were in our reflections&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, I have to admit I&#8217;m a horrible tourist. I arrived in Kyoto a bit late in the evening, it was cold and rainy&#8230; finally I found a place to stay. Next morning I was about to discover the marvels of this historic beautiful city. I really didn&#8217;t have a checklist but there was obviously one floating around. In the meantime I had to eat something so after a bit of walking I discover this wonderful restaurant.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-872" title="tokyo0901_r0010446" src="http://nonsenseengineering.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/tokyo0901_r0010446.jpg?w=450&h=337" alt="tokyo0901_r0010446" width="450" height="337" /></p>

<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-876" title="tokyo0901_r0010448" src="http://nonsenseengineering.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/tokyo0901_r0010448.jpg?w=450&h=337" alt="tokyo0901_r0010448" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>That night I received an email from a Japanese friend who offer to show me personally the way to Kamakura. I have to say that Kamakura is also a historic beautiful city in the neighborhood of Tokyo but not as relevant as Kyoto. Well, I couldn&#8217;t resist. I immediately change my plans&#8230; The next morning I would take the Shinkansen back to Tokyo. Some of my thinkings: the buildings will be here many years to come, the people not; besides, years after my visit I&#8217;ll remember any human relation better than any beautiful building. The following are the pictures I took in the way to Kyoto train station.</p>

This was one of the earliest ideas that appear to me when I started to think about coming to Japan.
