Abstract

This article proposes the analysis of the artistic uses of technology both as a communication practice and as a laboratory for observation and cultural intervention. As such uses appropriate elements from contemporary culture, artistic production with photography, cinema, video and also with mobile phones, internet, computers and biotechnologies can also be considered in a larger sense as a social experimentation device. Firstly, because such productions provide us clues to understanding the relational configurations of the uses of communication technologies and its implications for the processes of meaning production and of the constitution of our modes of existence. Secondly, they allow us to conceive different uses for such technologies, which amplify the possibilities of cultural intervention in our times
