Pensamiento Creativo I (Sentidos en Contexto)

This work is based on the use of hand recognition through a camera mixing audio, text and video to invite the user to use their intuition and discover the work.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development ‘Creative Thinking I (Senses in Context)’ is a project that seeks the human-machine connection under a mixture of visible and non-visible languages with the aim of inviting the viewer to take part through observation and bodily action. On the other hand, it tries to address topics such as perspective and, above all, the senses.

This project has influences from artists mentioned in the writing “New Media” by Christian Fricke, such as Jaffrey Shaw who in works such as “Legible City” (1989) combines the physical interactivity of the user with the non-linear narrative which the viewer himself constructs. This work by Shaw was a trigger to think about the narrative of ‘Creative Thought I (Senses in Context)’ taking into account the possibilities that the viewer has to intervene in the space and use virtuality as a door to it, without the initial action of the viewer the work itself does not exist, just as it could happen in the happenings of Allan Kaprow and in much of the Fluxus movement.

Taking into account this last part where we talk about action, like the cut in the work “Spatial Concept” (1959) by Luciano Fontana, this project implements physical interaction in order to create an interface outside of the obvious one, creating an experience similar to the ‘teletact’ that Marinetti mentions in “La Radia” making use of the senses as an instrument of access together and, in turn, proposing and trying to make visible sensory hierarchies that are socially established.
