Of analogous processes to new technologies: a laboratory of experiences around the digital transformation experienced in “La Red de Músicas de Medellin”.

Abstract

Due to the confinement for covid-19, the Red de Músicas de Medellín was confronted by the need to rethink some paradigms related to the processes of on campus formation in the city. This situation implied reflecting in the middle of creative action, about diverse aspects on training and research, related with some virtual, digital, and technological strategies, which by their nature were distant from what was usually established in their general dynamics. The emergence of tic Management role (Management of Technologies, Innovation and Knowledge) and its commitment to digital transformation, generate diverse challenges likewise the incorporation of new technologies, the dynamization of teaching and learning processes, new understandings of the “expanded campus”, the synchronous and asynchronous virtual interactions, the appearance of other channels to access knowledge and the emphasis on the own rhythms of each participant in relation to their learning styles, translate into challenges that the project decides to take on. In this context, the “sound exploration and creation laboratories” are configured as spaces that enable new dynamics of interaction, reflection, awareness, creation, production of multiple “significant experiences”, impacting the training offer for the Red. This emerged as alternative to the city, the mutar school (Músicas Urbanas y Tecnologías Aplicadas en Red), will be an scenario in which other genres such as rock, electronic trends, urban music, rap or hiphop, will feature with options supported for the government for musical training, the strengthening of skills and the consolidation of expressive and disruptive processes.
