The creation lab was a parallel activity to the exhibition UN HIMNO A LO FEO. From an open call, 16 participants with different profiles were selected: designers, artists and some photography enthusiasts who worked for 2 weeks, using the 1500 images from the image bank as raw material. The participants developed a series of projects that they presented within the exhibition UN HIMNO A LO FEO.
Results


The Guasappazo took advantage of the available images, to create a narrative inspired by the conversations of a fictitious couple through WhatsApp. Project by Mariela Richmond, Heidy Muñoz, Susy Villafañe and Ricardo Vargas.

The photograph on the left inspired the development of a series of letters. These were built from the features of the portrayed face and the deformations that give the grimace. So it was that Buuurp Regular potentiated the characters with a great dose of expressiveness. Project by Sebastián Castellanos.

Color Scapes recreated the color landscapes of 4 photos. The result was a product of a search for the decomposition of images into pixels, then regrouping them in a sequence of color. Project by Diana Pareja.

Participants interacted with La suerte de lo Feo (The Luck of the Ugly) by taking one of the surprise envelopes containing 3 photographs each, accompanied by a message alluding to the images. Project by Mariela Richmond, Heidy Muñoz, Susy Villafañe and Ricardo Vargas.

By sending a tweet with a photo included to #escuchatufoto, people were able to participate in the construction of the sound imaginary, receiving in return the score corresponding to their image. Project by Arturo Anaya, Natalia Barragán, Ricardo López, Catalina Ramírez and Carlos Rodríguez.

What happens when we go beyond the surface of the images to delve into their genetics? Can an element as abstract as the code of an image be qualified as something beautiful or ugly? El en-canto de lo feo (The charming song of the ugly) is a project by David Agudelo, Annelie Franke and Roxana Martínez. It was an experiment where what was considered defective, imperfect and visually unpresentable, was transformed into something auditory interesting. The process consisted of taking images to pixelate and convert them into a bitmap. This kind of visual DNA was converted into an audio data set that was transformed into musical sounds that could then be visualized through a score. An exercise to remind us of the beauty that is hidden beyond what we are able to see.
