Grafias em circuitos digitais: imagens de um presente de clausuras e exceções

Abstract

This research in the line of Creative Processes in Visual Arts had as its main premise, image as representation, dialectical image, prioritizing the languages of photography and video. During theoretical and imagery research, a cartography on art and politics was drawn, in which it was possible to explore different periods of art history as a way of tensioning artistic practice. To this end, dialogues were established with authors such as: Didi-Huberman, Jacques Rancière, Walter Benjamin, Hall Foster, Peter Bürger or with artists such as Harun Farocki, Ai Weiwei and Cao Guimarães. During the beginning of creation process, BRT construction space and the workers were photographed, raising questions about the recent transformations that took place in the city of Salvador, however, with the arrival of the Covid 19 Pandemic, other procedures were used during confinement. From the window of an apartment, the camera was redirected towards urban workers, the infoproletariat, the informal and unemployed people moving around the city, at the same time aspects of the political context and subjectivity of the artist in quarantine were manifested. In this way, a dialectic of images and their overflows was created not only by focusing on social reality, but also by applied digital interference.
