Klaus Fruchtnis presents a paper on "Citizen Art" at the 18th Festival Internacional de la Imagen

Since 1997, the Department of Visual Design in Manizales, Colombia, has hosted the International Image Festival.  This gathering of digital culture, throughout its 16 editions, has established an international network of institutions, researchers and artists who come together to exchange experiences and knowledge.  It has positioned itself as an event of international significance and academic reference in design, art, science and technology.

The exploration of cutting-edge issues, by bringing together various disciplines, is the main focus of the festival combined with a critical reflection on media and communications in contemporary times. This year, Klaus Fruchtnis will be presenting his paper entitled “Citizen Art: Individuality as a Force, Collectivism as a Reason for Survival”.
