Vídeo + performance: processos com o audiovisual em tempo real

Abstract

This work presents a research in visual arts, specifically in the art technology field. Based in a poetic research which involves audiovisual with computational technology, we focus in experiences of audio and video manipulated in real time. To do that, we start with a historic briefing about the context in the beginning of videoart delimiting the research with experiences realized by brazilian artists. In parallel with the study about video, we discuss computer based artistic productions and their relation with videoartists towards to the concept of expanded cinema, which is important to audiovisual studies with digital technology. Moreover, the focus on video and computational resources introduces aspects related to performance art and more specifically, to the VJ pratice. Then we relate the actual concept in contemporary art which defends the notion of pos-production artist. Therefore, in this dissertation , we present five works of the present author: Projeções de Nós mesmos, Maquínica, Todo dia, Antropaisagem and Fluxo, which are the base for the discussion in this research. Hence, using these works we discuss the notion of autorship and improvise in the esthetic experimentations, and besides we treat some aspects about the temporality and the concept of sinestesia in art.
