This year's main theme is "Disruption, Modeling and Construction: Shifting Dialogues", proposed as a broad reflection on the distances -theoretical, cognitive, physical- that arise in creative practices between simulations, artifacts, and their makers.

The conference will be hosted by the School of Architecture and Design and the Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics Departments of Universidad de los Andes.

The 2010 SIGRADI Conference will encourage reflection on the discontinuities and continuities that characterise creative processes and project design across different disciplines.

The activities involved in making products, offering services, or providing infrastructure usually require the systematic development of models, innovatory prototypes and finished products. However, it is important to recognise that currently, disruption, whether understood as method, strategy or thought process, can make an important contribution to creative, innovatory and inventive processes.

Taking as its starting point the uniqueness and specificity of different disciplines, each of which has its own models, processes, methods and goals, the conference will generate common ground to enrich reflection and practice in the digital media field. The 2010 SIGRADI Conference offers the ideal scenario for people to meet and engage in transformative dialogue.
