THEORY STRUCTURES FOR THIS PROJECT

Understanding that the current reality is full of virtual situations and information pretenses, it is considered that art must, in this moment, create realities that can be experienced in real time by real people. Leaving aside the artistic line that offers solutions or proposals controlled by the artist, it is intended with this kind of work to follow a line that produces real “happening possibilities” by the potential users and that these finish the work of art, openly, contributing with a perspective. These people are, through reflection, to offer alternative proposals according with each one’s subjective reality, contrary to the closed conclusions, pseudo-universal or global. In this kind of work, just a ‘device’ is provided, the conceptual challenge, the invitation to reflection.. later on, this device is put into action by the different subjects. They are invited this way to conclude the work of art “their way”, according to their point of view, reached from the conclusions they’ve developed as a result of their real experiences and of the socio-cultural frame where they take place.

It is a search that tries to capture defined frequencies amongst the immense and abstract idea of ‘urban mentality’. It is an effort to collect data anthropologically valid so that, through these devises, the individual thoughts of the people who create the current reality of our social urban landscape can be felt, listened and given an active voice.
