Informação e memória: relatos de uma experiência corporal

Abstract

The emergence of process-information paradigm (Oliveira, 2003) arises with the challenge posed by complex systems which we are imbricated with. Considering the micro and macro scales achieved by recent technologies, Oliveira suggests there are no full, completed and simple human beings, like coins. We take this paradigm as reference in order to investigate and analyse an experience carried out in the First Interdisciplinary Dance-Cognition-Technology Meeting, as well as concepts of information and memory. In such experience four performers assumed distinct roles and promoted relations between images, movements, bodies and apparatuses. Our goal is understand such interweaving. Memory, as we understand this concept here, is not reduced to the isolated records of experience through one specific device. Rather, we comprehend memory as the weave, the narrative that arises and feeds the process-information. As such, memory appears with the connections that could be established in this process. So, we use the connective memory concept (Hoskins, 2011) to discuss the arising of memory related to a nodal moment, to a connectivity moment between humans and non-humans elements.
