Tonia Raquejo

(?, 1958)

Teacher. He completed his doctoral thesis at the Warburg Institute of the University of London with a Fleming Scholarship and joined the UCMm with a postdoctoral scholarship from the MEC. From the beginning of his research he was interested in the way in which beliefs affect us when perceiving and describing reality. He has published numerous works on aesthetic perception and reception, as well as the relationships between art in the territory, the concept of nature and the scientific imagination. Recently, and from transversal disciplines, he has addressed the imagination as an agent that shapes the future and constructs realities. He has been trained in the field of Neurolinguistic Programming and DBM (Developmental Behavioral Modeling), which he applies to aesthetic experience, taking into account the importance of personal development in artistic learning, specializing in Art and embodied cognition in creative processes, a topic on the one who currently directs an R&D.

He has participated in MediaLab Madrid in the course “Art, Science and Science Fiction Meeting” (November 14, 2005 to June 21, 2006). Course taught in collaboration with the Complutense University and the University
Polytechnic of Madrid. During this course a transdisciplinary seminar experiment was carried out. Some of the classes of two freely configurable subjects offered at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University and at the School of Aeronautical Engineers of the Polytechnic University of Madrid respectively, were taught jointly at medialabmadrid. As a final course project, it was proposed to carry out and present collaborative projects between students from both groups in the field that connects science, art and science fiction.
