These exhibitions address the organization and strengthening of different Computer Art groups around the country. We highlight the role of the Art Institute at University of Brasilia, pioneer in this research area, promoting spaces for discussions, courses, theoretical-practical methodologies and exhibitions. The art modalities shown use innovative devices, concepts, modes of manufacturing, organizing data and information deeply inter-mediated by computational technologies while integrated with Computer Science, Robotics, Neuroscience, Ecology, Mathematics and Physics, among others. It was possible to observe during this period how the diffusion of sensor technology, physical computing, 3D print and neuroart became more intensive on the artworks pointing out to an increasing and more pervasive use of computer technology in Art.

Abordaremos este assunto considerando três pontos de vista principais: teoria de campo (ASCOTT, 1980; NÓBREGA, 2009); o conceito de coerência (HO, 1993; HO & POPP, 1989; SIMONDON, 1980); e o estado de conectividade (ASCOTT, 2006). Estes irão atuar como modelos integrativos para a compreensão de uma estrutura orgânica híbrida emergente pensada neste contexto como um organismo estético (NÓBREGA, 2009). O conceito de teoria de campo é aplicado como um modelo de trabalho para o papel sistêmico da informação dentro do fluxo imaterial, invisível e dinâmico que intercomunica os organismos naturais (ou seja, humanos e outros sistemas vivos) e artificiais (ou seja, máquinas) no processo da invenção, bem como na fruição da obra de...

Tal metodo vem sendo desenvolvido a partir de processos em rede, distribuidos e interconectados em escalas que abrangem tanto o local quanto o global, apoiados pelo recurso da internet. Modelos orgânicos integrativos tem constituido a base conceitual das investigacoes desenvolvidas no âmbito do NANO e orientado sua pratica laboratorial, que conta estrategicamente com a participacao de jovens investigadores, com o suporte indispensav...

Esta questao nao e nova para artistas envolvidos em telematica, mas veio a tona novamente durante os ultimos quatro anos como resultado de pesquisa em arte computacional, ciencia e sistemas telematicos desenvolvidos pelos artistas Guto Nobrega e Malu Fragoso no NANO – Nucleo de Arte e Novos Organismos (UFRJ – Brasil). A ideia sobre o “Abraco Telematico” foi introduzida por Roy Ascott (2003b) e e constantemente revista, com o desenvolvimento tecnologico, atraves de projetos artisticos que exploram processos de criacao de interfaces artificiais, que de alguma forma estao conectadas com elementos naturais e orgânicos, experimentando com possiveis hibridizacoes, interacao, presenca e contexto em ambientes telematicos. Neste artigo a apresentacao da pratica, procedimentos experimentais e tecnologicos esta em foco, assim como uma abordagem ao assunto da pratica artistica e pesquisa cientifica em colaboracao com outros grupos de...

Nucleus of Art and New Organisms, innovative research lab in Brazil in the field of hybridization, bio telematics and transculturalism

These works, which encompass a twilight zone in-between organic and artificial life, including plants, bees, bacteria and robots, are inspired by nature and models of thought drawn from scientific to ancient knowledge, such as indigenous Amerindian traditions and eastern cultures. This paper aims to present NANO's creative production and methods, focusing on aspects of art education, transculturalism, sustainability, based on the experience of the project "Land as an Educational Principle".

Tratamos aqui de descrever um pouco da vivência de um acontecimento/dispositivo que provoca essas conexões, o Hiperorgânicos.

The question is not new to artists involved with telematic systems, but it emerged again during the last three years, resulting from research on computer art, science, and telematic systems developed by artists Guto Nóbrega and Malu Fragoso at NANO Lab (UFRJ-Brazil). The idea of a “Telematic Embrace” was introduced by artist Roy Ascott in 2003 and is constantly reviewed with technological development through artistic projects that explore processes of creating artificial interfaces which in some way are connected with natural and organic elements, experimenting on possible hybridization, interaction, presence and context in telematic environments. In this paper, the presentation of practical, experimental and technological procedures are in focus, but also an approach to the subject relating artistic practices and science research in collaboration with other research groups and laboratories. We will be discussing on research s t r a t e g i es b e t w e e n a r t i s t i c a n d s c i e n t i f i c m e t h o d o l o g i es t o w a r d s t r a n s - d i s c i p l i n a r y knowledge.

Ante procesos tan diversos y ricos, el desafío consistió en reconocer entre las decenas de propuestas enviadas a la Residencia aquellas que pudieran formar colectivamente un cuerpo coherente de trabajos, que funcionaran de cierta forma como un organismo. No utilizamos apenas la lógica de una selección meritocrática, sino que adoptamos el criterio de pensar la relación de los trabajos propuestos, sus creadores y el lugar. La Residencia Rural Nuvem se encuentra localizada en Visconde de Mauá, una área de preservación ambiental en la Sierra de Mantiqueira del Estado de Río de Janeiro, a cerca de 1200 metros de altitud, contemplada por la belleza natural de sus valles, vegetación y cascadas. Un lugar mágico, estratégicamente pensado para proporcionar una inmersión creativa a sus residentes. El tiempo se desacelera gradualmente a medida que subimos la sierra de Visconde de Mauá.

The question emerged again during the last three years, resulting from research on computer art, science, and telematic systems developed by artists Guto Nóbrega and Malu Fragoso at NANO Lab (UFRJ-Brazil). The idea of a “Telematic Embrace”, introduced by artist Roy Ascott in 2003, is constantly reviewed with techno- logical development through artistic projects that explore processes of creating artificial interfaces which in some way are connected with natural and organic elements, experimenting on possible hybridization, interaction, presence and context in telematic environments. We believe that telematic situation enhances the vitality of an aesthetic experience and that this experience provides a renewed state of consciousness. The idea of a plant or insect-machine-human interaction definitely enhances our capacity of perception. In this paper, the presentation of artistic practical, experimental and technologic procedures are in focus, together with research strategies applied at NANO.

Computadores, telefones, equipamentos de som e imagem, eletrodomésticos, caixas de banco eletrônicas dentre outros, fazem parte de um contexto tecnológico que nos esta cercando de máquinas “inteligentes” que parecem ter vida. Com a pesquisa em Inteligência Artificial caminhamos rápidamente para a convivência com maquinas que além de interagir e comunicar, inventam e inovam, e, para mantê-las vivas basta ligá-las numa fonte de energia elétrica que iniciam suas funções pré-programadas. Da mesma forma, um simples toque torna tudo subitamente “morto”. Este artigo tem como objetivo discorrer a respeito das questões acima introduzidas e chamar a atenção para um importante viés da produção simbólica na arte tecnológica computacional contemporãnea que lida com a consciência da vida.

This kind of art, immanently connected to computers, emphasizes sensory, poetic and aesthetic experiences inter-mediated by computational devices, which became also the artworks support/media. It is an art focused on the trilogy: artists, computers and public. The Art Institute at the University of Brasilia created and promotes Computer Art courses, exhibitions and the theoretical-practical methodologies described here, such as the concept of meta-installation. Since then we here propose to examine this artistic production which, in our view, expresses an emergent Brazilian identity in contemporary art.
