The recent creation of the Foundation Destellos means an important engagement on behalf of the Argentine cultural community. Its achievements reflect yearn tending to the evolution of culture in its multiple aspects and opening breaches between the country and abroad.
The foundation objectives and activities are oriented to promote the intrinsic values of the arts, in its contemporary forms. That implicates an intensive labor comprehending esthetic, technologic and scientific axes, in their theoretical and practical aspects.
The civic responsibility is incumbency of the artist. As a counterpart, the community stimulus is a necessary requisite to develop the creative task of the individual artist. The idea of this foundation is based in that necessity of interrelation. Its purpose is to stimulate, collaborate and participate in all initiative of cultural, artistic, intellectual, educational, social and scientific characters, tending to the development of human activity into the community.
Nowadays the music, the video art and other multimedia expressions, confront the public to perceptive and esthetic conflicts. The preoccupation for scientific research shown today into the artistic field, responds to the need to integrate the different areas that constitute the creative process. The knowledge of the scientific disciplines related with sound, image and perception (as neurophysiology, psychology, sociology, physics and acoustic), will favor the esthetic appreciation and the intellectual development. There is the importance of the multi-disciplinary activities, to achieve a better comprehension of arts and at the same time to contribute to development of human knowledge.
Besides, the scientific knowledge is complementary with the digital technology that constitutes at the same time a tool for research and for creation. So, to favor technologic research for the development of new software is also an important objective.
Simultaneously to the theoretical studies, it is indispensable a deep reflection about esthetics signification of contemporary arts. That reflection will depend on the own conscience of creators about the scope of their production and of the responsibility that they have to guide the foundations of their activity. By those reasons, one of the principal purposes of the Foundation is to incentive creator to reconsider all those aspects, in order to establish the theoretical basis that will constitute the pedagogic elements of the artistic education of our days.
We believe that the synergism included between arts, sciences and technology, will contribute to develop all aspects of culture, improving the human condition.
