Abstract

Taking the context of the creation processes between art, technology, and science, proposed in the master's research project [fapesp process no. 2022/05643-6], we seek to study, in this request, technological devices operationalized by artists as micropolitical resistances (FEENBERG, 2006). Sensitive to Pleasure (2010) and Compression Cradle (2016) are cited for contextualizing the multistability (IHDE, 2009) of technologies through the non programmed use of objects, understanding that this disruptive potential mobilizes corporeal sensorial capacities to embody artistic intentionality and problematize, in/through the materiality of the works, the disciplining of bodies. Thus, we intend to select and describe technological poetics from the Ars Electronica Center's collection, as well as present at the Ars Electronica Festival, aiming to contextualize and deepen the analysis of the relationship between artists' bodies itself (MERLEAU-PONTY, 1999) and embodiment (IHDE, 2009).
