New
Media as a continuous symbiotic relation with the Urban environments.
Digital
art forms are in correlation with the urban space, correlation that has
a major effect on the conceptual, visual and audio aspect. From this point
that art forms are related to the vibe of the basic social actions, action
that can be pure individual representation, street advertising or other
shapes that interact with the urban ambience, that can construct an image
that digital art is a correspondent of the urban space.
Analyzing, criticizing, exploring, asimelizing are all modalities of requiring
aspects of this urban environment that art fields has done it continuously.
New media is in much higher relation with this space, because technological
elements are interfering in the same time in both areas, even if one is
built on technological aspect and the other on is more related with the
reflection of it.
The observation of this terrain where the analyze can have a form only
of a documentation, creates an image of study area, but this process can
have an autonomist shape. Shape that is losing its initial meanings of
translation and becomes a creative form.
The
focus of this research is more directed to the sub cultural urban environment
where there is a continuous innovation of language representation. Digital
art forms they have a direct pronunciation over this urban category, even
if this sub culture doesn't directly realized it. It's more like a self-projection,
a pattern that is being implemented without an educated background.
From the elements of sub culture as, self-advertising, graffiti, posters
and other publicity elements that can refer to the image of a group or
individual, there is a reflection of the new media forms. Forms that are
implemented and the main concern are to create an impact with a sudden
effect.
The relation of art with the urban spaces I always saw it as mainframe
of my actions. Accumulating this package of social creativity and trying
to implement it in works, it was in a way the major contribution in my
personal development.
The status of the artist is transformed in the one of an inside analyzer,
equal to Carol Becker affirmation:" artists need to be understood
as social agents".
Keywords
of visual urban data
The
exploiting areas of the society environments are more related to the street
details aspects, the movement of the street, underground passage, tube
passages, buildings, entrances, train stations, parking places etc.
All the inscriptions that appear in this kind of place, even if they have
note of vandalism, signs of deterioration, are integrated as visual data.
It's more like a post syndrome of the mural predilection, that today I
can only see it as graffiti, wall scratches, markers notes and other similar
ways of image manifestation. It's an underlined element of the urban vibe.
It has the most individualistically modality of representation and it
changes and in reaches it self continuously.
Also related to the fact that this kind of visual fragments are created
mostly by the young generation who is in a continuous relation with the
multimedia technological tools.
It's an particular artifact that this kind of surroundings are offering,
graffiti texts that you can find it also over the internet transformed
into text fonts, also developed from this visual subculture is becoming
a graphic web design style; = net reflection syndrome.
All this elements are a mass form that is constructing in a way the graphical
ornamentation of the usual quotidian.
It's like applying a filter over this space with a correspondent to the
new media field. Act that in a way I'm clarifying my individual status
in this kind of participation, from passive to active trough the process
of exploring it and materialized it in another different language, visual
to visual, =visual transportation.
Is a self part that in a way I suppose that each artist is developing
by him self, the pleasure of scanning the streets, the ruined buildings
that are losing there utility, the scratched walls, the posters glued
chaotic on bus station window, notes left on the street pillars, texts
on the fences or other visual similarities. This all constructs a world
by it self and it has the aspect of a messed library with opened shelves.
It's a surrounding that it's already created and you don't have to arrange
it anymore, you just have to select from it, is like a scenographic set.
Is more perhaps what each artist is constructing in his intimate place,
but over there the elements are pre selected, selected, arranged, positioned
and configured to own optical need. The street effect creates a certain
noise that is compound from visual, sound, shape and vibration, all a
mix that is giving to the participants a perception of normality.
All this research of the society environmental effect is rather equal
to a mapping procedure, texturezing and rendering a surface that has already
a constructed structure.
Forms
of representation and motifs:
Represent the personal subjective experience of a person living in a data
society.
Interaction with volumes of data and numerous messages part of new "data-subjectivity."
Data visualization as integration of portrays human subjectivity.
Data visualization environment as a major language of creativity.
Immersing data as translation of the urban sub cultural space.
Object as materialization of the interaction urban data, physical translation
of the urban sensorial interaction.
Reflection of the sub cultural social data as implementation in the web
area.
Social environmental visual data as individual visual representation and
side effect in the subjective live quotidian. Video and audio immersions
as variable urban information densities.
Capture and abstraction of personal experience in audio and video urban
space as a form of personal identity. Information visualizations from
temporal and spatial perspectives as a continuous interaction of micro
social areas. Analyze of the new media impregmentation in sub cultural
spaces. Visual archive of the researched space as visual mainframe data
resource.
The appetite for browsing and scanning such an area comes from a similarity
related to native environment, environment that is the first correspondent
in these chain locations.
A
series of motifs are found in:
Justification of similar social stereotypes.
Reflection of inherited political background.
Integration and adaptation to the new social transition forms and the
effect resulted in the sub cultural layer.
Representations
of the conceptualistic modalities of expression.
Visual
correspondence to the native urban spaces.
Visual reactions to the socio political transitions.
Visual representation as form of urban aggression.
Image
development as basic data visual.
Media
transition as after effects in pre technical developed spaces.
It
contains the relation of the society with interference of the new medias,
the confrontation of the social with the adaptation to technological mediums.
It comes from an effect that is visible in this area, the fact of increasing
in a fugitive way the introduction of new technological mediums in the
social, creates an aspect of analyzing the contrasts and accepting the
accommodation to this new issues.
New technical mediums that are interfering in difeerent aspects and points
of view.
The accommodation to the new digital medium as form of (sub)/culture.
The aspect of high tech in the urban space, and his form of manifestation
as new current it comes as overloaded data effect. The contact and interaction
is sudden and ingurgitated instantly with different form of absorption,
detaching it self as new shapes of expression, mobile use, palm etc. The
effect looks particular odd concerning the urban stocked old space, the
new interference looks like a bruiaje that is passing trough.
The relations between the space and the accessories of the new mediums
create a contrast that has the appearance of post-urban traumatic syndrome.
Adaptation and rejection simoustanly, double effect that has connotations
on individuals and perimeters.
The storage of this new syndrome as visual data archive comes as a personal
interest to the research, the fact of existence of such a shape of expression
must include also a overview of visual aesthetics of
the movement.
