Arte computacional e diversidade sensória: as (d)eficiências como aberturas de acesso ao mundo sensível

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to approach (dis)abilities as openings of access to the sensible world, in the context of technological poetics: a reflection on the adaptive path, in which a supposed limitation follows until its transcendence to diversity. It is about identifying poetic possibilities in the computer arts, from an incursion into observable aspects of the paths taken by the (dis)abled, in their search for regulation and by taking place in the world through the body. This regulation originates in the understanding of the human as an organic device, alive and connected to various systems, constantly adapting to ensure its survival and coexistence in the world. We examine these adaptive processes and gestures, to establish discourses that can reflect it in works of computational art. From the concept of Cybernetics, a premise is established here: to analyze sensory diversity as a system, in which human and technique are in constant communication, tensioned in a compositional relationship. It is in this sense that computer art was the chosen path to approach diversity. This is a choice that involves both the linking of computing to technological poetics and this given context, in which the technique is already inserted in diversity. Within this observation, we aim at what allows us to establish and promote a discourse oriented towards the diversity of bodies, addressing the different ways of existing and perceiving the sensible world.
