Introduction
This program is a contemporary didactic proposal, in tune with the panorama of the digital revolution, which is situated in the fertile territory of encounter between photography, art, information and visual communication.
The master has a critical approach and deals in an experiential, experimental and constructive way with the essential questions that characterize the concept of the documentary in its relationship with art. The fundamental objective is to explore and take advantage of the possibilities that arise from the conjugation of the author's subjectivity with the demands of documentary practice.
The proposal reflects the current nature of the image, hybrid and dynamic, and is framed in a new ecology of the media that demands evolutionary modes of production, distribution and consumption of information in all its forms.
The contents of the master, which cover technical, aesthetic and humanist areas, are designed with the need for new creators in the world of documentary photography in mind. Authors with their own personality and social criteria, capable of carrying out projects with an individual vocation and, at the same time, collectively valid.
