Factores y elementos de cambio social en las prácticas artísticas digitalesclaves de integración artística con el entorno cotidiano actual

Resumo

Structured based on the trinomial Art-Technology-Society, our research addresses questions about how current art, or digital art practices, as forms of knowledge, can contribute to the improvement of social problematics of any kind (inequality, unsustainability, injustice, cultural; religious; political or economic differences, among others) in an effective way. To do this, we propose a new approach from the artistic system through the development of a series of integrated keys with our daily environment and from the current context of Digital Culture. Among the most relevant findings, and through their implementation by the experimentation of our own artistic work, we conclude highlighting that the dissemination and application of these keys involves the phenomenon of a more democratic art in terms of people’s participation and, therefore, they contribute positively in a more real and sustainable way to the social change of the communities where they have been applied. However, a broader validation of our study would lie in its large-scale applicability. Although we have begun from a hypothetical-deductive method in the preparation of the hypothesis that motivated the birth and development of this research, we have mainly and generally prioritized the use, among others, of the logical-inductive method, based on all the theoretical and audio-visual material compiled. Most of this has been based on selected sources from databases of special relevance as of books and scientific articles of interest to our object of study: mainly from authors such as Barbancho, Bauman, Bourriaud, Castells, Martín Prada, Palomero Páramo, Thornton, Laddaga or Helguera, among others; statements and interviews with experts: such as Ai, Delgado or Valcárcel, among others; or research stays in specialized centres abroad: at institutions in Algeria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, the United States of America and Palestine. But also, from the execution of field studies through the production of own work in Algeria, Brazil and Canada; from case studies on Güell, Hirst and link.art; or from the analysis of artworks by artists and groups: such as Burguener, Carrasco, Kalash, Martens, Sierra, Sollfrank, Takala or Boa Mistura, among others.
