SURROUNDINGS, PEOPLE AND TECHNOLOGY AS ART - USING TECH-NOLOGY FOR SITE - SPECIFIC OPEN ARTWORK
Abstract
The immaterial products of today environment is overpopulated with 'tools' for enter-taining, education, creativity, geographic orientation and so on. Everything is designed to create layer over layer of wich we name 'reality'. From a philosophical point of view, our world is becoming an 'opera aperta' of information for developers, companies, aca-demics and individuals. But is it so? Are transacted data part of an one piece of work? Could such data became artwork? As part of my doctoral approach of education and technology, the present paper propose a schematics for a possible methodology of using the 'open artwork' concept for real in-teraction of individuals with the specific site, to create a site specific open art work, me-diated by technology. In my view the technology should reconnect people with the envi-ronment by providing specific action in designated locations and if this action is art or related with art, is even better. This way of using today technological parameters will be presented in this paper as specific tool of engagement with the surroundings, with build-ings, historical places, views but also this can be extended to ecological points of inter-est.
