FROM GRAFFITI TO URBAN CYBER-INTERVENTION
This theoretical-practical research assumes that the urban cyberintervention (ciurbi), in the context of the information age, is an artistic activist action, that modifies in real time the routine in an interactive and colaborative way. The thesis demonstrates that artistic actions can colaborate on the transformation of social behaviors, by the computing media, that allow numerous colective actions, that are interess of social comunities as graffiti and hip-hop. Thus, this research is infuenced by the sociologic art, a french artistic movement of the 70’s, from manifests written by por Fred Forest, Hervé Fischer and Jean-Paul Thénot, known as the Manifest of Comunication’s Aesthetics. The thesis were developed from urban interventions called ciurbi. Record of the actions, interviews with the interactors and the analysis of the results are presented. The practical work uses a few repeated characteristics, such as performing activities related to urban intervention and the use of photography and video recording media. In the methodological development resort of the concepts delimited during the practice, weaving some relationships with the field of media art in general and specifically with the computer art. The terms emerge from the practical procedures and are tested in theoretic field, then, they are tested again in practice trials. The result are three major ciurbis, inserted in the context of computer art, proposing a particular approach on aspects of urban cyber-intervention.
