(Des) carregado: o sentido que atribuímos à tecnologia

Abstract

The “Dis(charged)” project has as purpose an intervention in Parque do Sabiá in the city of Uberlândia, that provides to the general public a place to practice sports and leisure activities. The objective is to accomplish some interventions in the public space of the park through the Sticker Art (street art based on stickers), motivated by the questions about the human being's relations with the technology in devices in actual society, characterized by network connections and virtuality. In the middle of so much technology we live very connected in social networks, no matter where we are, and we end up forgetting to connect ourselves with nature, with the “real” place and the other people around. In view of this “technological addiction” in current society, the intervention proposal opted for a place that rarely has this “online” connection. The research involves artistic references that inspired the intervention process and its connection with technology, a mapping of the place, and how it will be intermediated for such action, in addition to knowing the technological updates of applications used in the network. Understanding how the public is taking advantage of them on the networks is essential to appropriate the theme and transpose into the art of stickers a reflection about digital culture in this proposal.
