Poéticas participativas contemporâneas: o engajamento dos sentidos na arte tecnológica brasileira

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the engagement of the senses put forth by the Brazilian technological artistic production since 2001 as a form of audience participation in the work, contextualized in the position of interactor. Participatory poetics, commonly associated with the production of the 1960s and 1970s, are reconstructed, proposing new types of spectator-work relationship, even if it is through unusual sensory channels and from unconventional languages. The present work is divided according to the three modes of participation identified during the research: Action; Immersion and Connection. The first chapter aims to establish the parameters by which we understand the senses and perception, as well as the idea of interaction and participation in recent Brazilian art history. With examples of old and current works, it seeks to show how action is still present as a poetic proposal. The second chapter draws a parallel between the first uses of technological resources and the way in which the work of art has opened up to a greater involvement of the viewer, until it reaches immersiveness through technology. Finally, the third chapter aims to show that the idea of connection has become radicalized with technology and, through examples, exposes artists and works that put us in relation with systems of various natures
