Abstract

The project's main issue is the constitution of the notion of "technological archeology" for the theoretical-practical discussion and production of graphic and photographic processes in contemporary art. In this context, the research starts from historical elements and techniques that recontextualized can provoke new sign approaches, focusing on lithographic procedures and their aspects - namely in situ lithography -, photomechanical processes and diazotype, to determine an interdisciplinary and intermediate media artistic practice.
