Fragmentado

This work aims to generate an experience with the viewer by letting them explore it only using the mouse, stopping at multiple and diverse coordinates in space, to explore their possible points of view. It consists of a shape that can only be observed if it is located at a specific moment in the area that makes up the work. If not, it will be disassembled and different figures can be seen, both structured and abstract.

This effect is carried out by a group of small squares that are positioned in different dimensions added to a function that allows us to move through the orbit of the canvas, thus simulating the route that the viewer himself could take in a physical space.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development

“Fragmented” is a work that integrates the viewer into its final conclusion, that is, thanks to the fact that he plays and goes through it in its possible points, it is completed. My intention in creating it was to generate a homologous link with the concept of the artistic installation, which is also characterized by the introduction of the viewer to the concept of the work.

“The perception of the viewer is the product of art” ¹

What I seek is for my work to be reduced only to the possible interpretations or sensory experiments that it manages to cause in the subject or subjects involved in it. Another very important factor that I want to achieve, and that above all characterizes the artistic installation, is the process of fragmentation and decentering that a rational and centered subject goes through when entering the work. The fact that it does not have a specific ideal place to observe itself, but, on the contrary, has infinite perspectives, causes, or at least attempts to, this sensation of fragmentation in the perception of each expectant subject.

As we well know, artistic installations are part of the current artistic movement, known as contemporary art. This endless perceptual possibilities that the work produces give it that point of singularity, but at the same time they make its dissemination difficult, which is why its mere reproduction ends up becoming a work of art.

“You cannot photograph a concept, but the text that explained it would also be missing something, and something fundamental: it would be missing that constellation of possible stories that hovers over the naked photo” ²

With respect to contemporary art, there is an idea that circulates within it that, in particular, is very relevant to me; I am referring to the idea of ​​“irresponsible freedom”, as Aira suggests, which appears at the moment of producing a work of art and which allows it to continue to be considered as such. The fact that we are “authorized” to do anything without falling into concern about the quality or even the meaning of the work, opens the door to true, non-derivative creation, which I think is very important for us as artists, since it does not offer any limitations, simply expressing what one wants and in the way one wants, regardless of the social and/or economic context in which we find ourselves.
