La Casa Ida was a medialab and cultural center active between 2006 and 2014 in Lima, Peru, focused on research, production and education in technological artistic practices. It was founded by a group of contemporary artists led by architect, electronic arts researcher and professor Alvaro Pastor.
Work
Its lines of work included research on the relations between artists and computers, education and training on electronic art, support for artistic production and exhibition of experimental audiovisual arts, and promotion of access to open-source technologies for cultural production and innovation. Located at iconic La Colmena Avenue in the old city center, La Casa Ida offered a multimedia computer lab, audiovisual production and post-production facilities, a residency area for artists and researchers, and gallery and music exhibition spaces. Since 2008 its institutional website became a publishing platform for experimental and electronic music. In 2011 La Casa Ida founded Instituto Arte Electronica (Electronic Arts Institute) concerned about developing an educational program in electronic arts and technologies with a pedagogical approach that sought to balance academic knowledge, non-standardized and traditional knowledge of Latin America. This context initiated Alexandra a free digital library project that provides selected resources for research in digital technologies and humanities. Besides exhibition and educative activities La Casa Ida advocated with Peruvian government institutions for cultural and educational policies encompassing open-source and creative uses of open source technologies. Among the most important projects generated we find Culturalima a collaborative information system on cultural ecosystems created in 2012 and adopted by the Ministry of Culture (Peru) since 2013 under the name Infoartes.
