Resum:
'Audiovisual culture and creativity in the city of Huesca (Spain). The role of ArtLab as a hotbed of creation' aims to analyze, through the case study of this artistic laboratory, its function for the city of Huesca, as a center that facilitates and promotes audiovisual, creative and cultural production in the city. It also aims to reflect the importance of such spaces, as well as participatory culture as a value for cities. The ArtLab or artistic laboratory is a public service center that was born in 2003, open to all citizens, and whose main purpose was to promote digital literacy for artists and creators. Its original philosophy, which it maintains today, is based on combining art and technology, and offering tools and support so that creators can carry out their projects. The methodological design of this research is a case study. An inductive-deductive method has been used, based on methodological triangulation. The methods used in this study were 1) exploratory interviews, 2) analysis of documentary material, 3) participant observation, and 4) in-depth interviews. Through the study and analysis of ArtLab as a case study and the creative potential of this city, the results and conclusions could benefit the city and be extrapolated to other environments. Finally, a series of recommendations are offered regarding the role of medialabs for creative cities.
