Instalações interativas digitais os códigos estéticos e a produção artística contemporânea

Abstract

The research in this work has as its main focus the aesthetic enjoyment through the hybrid language of technological art inquiring about its role in concept constructions, attributions of meaning and values that underlie and permeate digital interactive artistic installations. For this purpose it became necessary the understanding of paths and definitions of aesthetics in light of art autonomy. We have outlined, thus, an approach related to the relations established between aesthetics and art bringing up to surface the development of artistic production concept and social and cultural praxis of each historical moment. Starting from the experience with the works of the twelfth edition of International Festival of Electronic Language - File 2011, we have selected three digital interactive installations to be studied and analyzed. When describing the structures of these works we aimed to recover the process of creation, so then we could have reflected the aesthetic concepts and the identity properties which are part of the studied objects. We have verified which intrinsic aesthetic effects of these technological devices mark these productions and we have given them the real existence in the contemporary art field. We have also pondered different approaches as the technical issue, levels of interaction between art/audience/space which join together technology and art, specifically in regards of the selected works.
