Contaduría Creativa (2025): Art, Biotechnology, and Creative Education Dataset

This dataset documents Contaduría Creativa (2025), an interdisciplinary educational and artistic initiative developed by undergraduate students from the Public Accounting program at Unidades Tecnológicas de Santander (UTS), Colombia, within the framework of an interinstitutional alliance with the Bacteriology and Clinical Laboratory Program of Universidad de Santander (UDES) and Fundación Eureka Soluciones. This collaboration enabled effective biotechnology knowledge transfer, specialized academic support, and responsible application of scientific approaches to the creative process. Contaduría Creativa was conceived as an educational innovation experience aimed at integrating art and science as a pedagogical strategy to foster interdisciplinary learning, creativity, and social appropriation of scientific knowledge within accounting education. Through guided training, students explored fundamental biotechnology concepts and applied them to create artistic works. A central component of the exhibition was agar-based bioart, designed to represent emblematic urban spaces and the local biodiversity of Bucaramanga, Colombia. Through this category, students produced artistic representations of public parks, strategic urban locations, and biodiversity associated with each area, using agar as an expressive medium and living biological processes as tools for creativity. Complementary artistic categories included plastic art, photography, artificial intelligence applied to photography, sculptures, and drawings, resulting in a total of 87 documented artworks. The dataset compiles a complete documentary record of the event, including high-resolution images of the artworks, photographic and audiovisual documentation of the exhibition process, structured curatorial catalogues, and digital exhibition materials. The dataset organization ensures traceability between artworks, descriptive metadata, and visual records using structured catalogue files. All dataset contents, including artwork titles, descriptions, catalogues, digital exhibition materials, and event documentation, are provided in both Spanish and English, facilitating accessibility and reuse in national and international academic contexts. The dataset aligns with open science and FAIR principles and is intended to support research in educational innovation, interdisciplinary and STEAM-based learning, and teaching, outreach, and science communication initiatives. Ethical considerations were addressed through informed consent procedures, authorship recognition, and anonymization when required, ensuring compliance with academic ethical standards and personal data protection. This dataset serves as an open resource for researchers, educators, and practitioners interested in art–science integration, biotechnology education, creative pedagogy, and documentation of interdisciplinary educational experiences in higher education.本数据集记录了创意会计（Contaduría Creativa, 2025）项目，这是一项跨学科教育与艺术实践项目，由哥伦比亚桑坦德技术学院（Unidades Tecnológicas de Santander, UTS）公共会计学专业的本科生发起，依托与桑坦德大学（Universidad de Santander, UDES）细菌学与临床检验专业及尤里卡解决方案基金会（Fundación Eureka Soluciones）建立的校际合作联盟框架开展。此次合作实现了生物技术知识的有效传递、专业化学术支持，并将科学方法负责任地应用于创意创作流程。 创意会计项目以教育创新实践为核心定位，将艺术与科学融合作为教学策略，旨在推动会计学教育中的跨学科学习、创造力培养，以及科学知识的社会普及。通过定向指导培训，学生们学习了基础生物技术概念，并将其应用于艺术作品创作。 本次展览的核心作品类别为琼脂基生物艺术（agar-based bioart），旨在展现哥伦比亚布卡拉曼加的标志性城市空间与本土生物多样性。学生们以琼脂（agar）为创作媒介、以活体生物过程为创意工具，创作了各区域公共公园、核心城市地标及相关生物多样性的艺术具象作品。配套艺术类别涵盖造型艺术、摄影、人工智能摄影应用、雕塑与绘画，最终共计87件收录存档的艺术作品。 本数据集完整收录了该活动的纪实档案，包括艺术作品高清图像、展览过程的摄影与视听纪实资料、结构化策展目录，以及数字化展览物料。数据集通过结构化目录文件，实现了艺术作品、描述性元数据与视觉记录之间的可追溯性。 本数据集所有内容——包括作品标题、描述、策展目录、数字化展览物料及活动纪实资料——均提供西班牙语与英语版本，便于在国内外学术场景中获取与复用。本数据集遵循开放科学与FAIR（可发现、可访问、可互操作、可复用）原则，旨在为教育创新、跨学科与STEAM（科学、技术、工程、艺术、数学）学习相关研究，以及教学、科普与科学传播实践提供支持。 本数据集通过知情同意流程、作者署名认定及必要时的匿名化处理落实伦理规范，确保符合学术伦理标准与个人数据保护要求。 本数据集可为关注艺术与科学融合、生物技术教育、创意教学法及高等教育跨学科教育经验纪实的研究者、教育者与从业者提供开放共享资源。
