SIGraDi #25 Sociedad Iberoamericana de Gráfica Digital 1997-2021

The Ibero-American Society of Digital Graphics (SIGraDi) was created by the initiative of the Argentine architect Arturo F. Montagú, after having organized, since 1995, a series of national seminars from the Centro de Creación Asistida por Ordenador (CAO – Center for Computer Aided Creation) at the Universidad of Buenos Aires.  The SIGraDi is a non-profit organization whose objective is to promote the dissemination and exchange of ideas in computer graphics and emerging technologies in professional practice, education and research in Architecture, Design, Art and associated disciplines. Focused on Iberoamerican region, SIGraDi shares the same goals of the other sister associations in the world: ACADIA (North America), CAADRIA (Asia and Oceania), eCAADe (Europe), ASCAAD (Arab world) and CAAD Futures. The SIGraDi's history is made of research, innovation, reflection and criticism, made concrete by people, facts and accomplishments. As such, it is as rich as it is plural. The exercise of looking back at 25 years of SIGraDi required the conscious decision not to tell "the story" of society, but to give voice, as much as possible, to a collective cartography, composed of a set of intertwining threads.
