Abstract(s)
Este artigo aponta a subversão da gravidade como uma das características da poética de instabilidade, conceito já anteriormente proposto e desenvolvido pelos autores, a partir da seleção e análise de nove artefatos de média-arte digital, cujo mote poético principal é o interesse em desestabilizar as percepções sobre a gravidade. Nesta fase inicial foram analisadas imagens disponibilizadas pelos próprios artistas em plataformas abertas na internet. Interessava saber: que efeitos/sensações são perseguidos e provocados? Quais as estratégias artísticas para realizar a desestabilização? Que diferenças e semelhanças há entre estas iniciativas? Como diferentes estratégias podem provocar diferentes impactos nos processos e nos resultados? Para melhor responder a estas questões foram destrinchadas as estratégias de subversão – ou desestabilização – da gravidade encontradas nos artefatos e foram elaboradas categorias de análise pautadas nas relações entre as variáveis observadas. Os achados estão detalhadamente discutidos e sintetizados em tabelas.

In this initial phase, images made available by the artists themselves on open platforms on the internet were analyzed. The questions of interest were: what effects/sensations are pursued and provoked? What are the artistic strategies to carry out destabilization? What differences and similarities are there between these initiatives? How can different strategies have different impacts on processes and results? To better answer these questions, the strategies for subversion – or destabilization – of gravity found in the artifacts were scrutinized and categories of analysis were created based on the relationships between the observed variables. The findings are discussed in detail and summarized in explanatory tables.
