Transbordamentos: elementos para uma cartografia dos campos cegos nos jogos da arte

Abstract

The work explores the dynamics of plastic games in arts and how they work as "seeing machines", or devices which allow them to develop certain types of learning while promoting certain processes of invisibility. Among the negotiations of certain "ways of seeing" the institution of the collective status of the visible is established. Social, technological, economic and political factors overlap in those negotiations, resulting in the expansion of the processes of production and reproduction of images that culminate in the formation of "blind spots" in visual culture, areas marked by dim visibility. Aware that it itself is partially responsible for establishing visual limits, art responds to this situation by overflowing and flooding these limits. It adopts "blind fields" and their internal dynamics as a basis for reflective practices. Ii works towards identifying an invisible status as part of the constitution of the visible statute itself in the proposition of sensory experiences from dialogues with invisibility. Some of these experiments are analyzed in this thesis, which recognizes elements in them and allows for a mapping of "blind spots" and for an expanded discussion of vision
