The research group “Corpuslab” has been operating since 2015 and is dedicated to the study of musical cultures from a corpus of knowledge structured on the representations, information, texts, your subjects, actions and objects that characterize phenomena in culture and art. These studies take advantage of the intense integration of methods that transit between the environments of science, art and technology, to open up fronts of methodological and conceptual innovation that characterize the reported production of the group. Our investigation tries to answer the questions that are debated about the problems that art and cultural traditions present to the field of science.. We nurture radically transdisciplinary research proposals and creative approaches, both in the production of science and in the production of avant-garde art.
The group's research strategies within the field understood as the art of science, where we transition between different methods of cognitive science, computation, historiographical approaches, ethnography, neuroscience and computational musicology. The group is actually composed of 3 teachers who share coordination and about 20 students conducting various projects funded by regional development agencies, nationals and internationals. Approaches developed in this design make use of motion capture systems, audio and video, psychological assessment instruments, media capture and methodology for analysis and ethnographic or documentary production in various areas. The coordinators teachers have international operations are often invited to workshops and lectures.
