SUMMARY The master‘s thesis titled “Logic of Labyrinths and Alogisms” seeks to disclose the meaning of the labyrinth symbol and to go deep into it as a phenomenon existing in reality. The non-heterogeneity of this phenomenon has been disclosed by analysing the symbol of the labyrinth through the psychological, philosophical and mythological prisms. The author has made a conclusion that the labyrinth has two spheres of existence, which may be conditionally subdivided into logical and alogical. The author aimed at expressing the main concept of the theoretical studies of the master‘s thesis by using the artistic means. The principal aim was not only to maintain the classical depiction of the labyrinth but also to convey the phenomenon through the personal prism. Although the leather art employs a number of techniques and materials, the classical techniques and materials have been chosen in this master‘s thesis. Various art technologies of leather work have been paralleled in this creative project keeping to natural leather as a principal material. The analysis has come to the conclusion that the creative work of any artist may be compared with the search of the keys that could open the locks of sub-consciousness. During the creative process and with every new work the artist as if opens the lock on one of the doors that keep some secret behind them.

This research has as theme the production of works/projects in the field of webart. The digital poetics in this dissertation comes from the following question: how to prepare webarts correlating the maze of urbis and cyberspace, using the Entity as a connection point? I make this question in order to expand the artistic career developed so far. Thus, this poetics uses a few repeated characteristics, such as performing activities related to urban intervention and the use of photography and video to reach webarte. But the poetics is developed in other aspects: the webarts are the object of study, and aim to propose relationships between urban space and cyberspace, considered two labyrinthine environments; the webarts are resized by the synergy between work/project and interactor. In the methodological development, I approach myself of the concepts delimited during the practice, which I seek to deepen, weaving some relationships with the field of media art in general and specifically with the technological art and webart. The terms emerge from the practical procedures and are tested in theoretic field, then, they are tested again in practice trials. The result are three major works/projects, inserted in the context of contemporary art, proposing a particular approach on aspects of webart. / Esta pesquisa tem como mote principal a produção de obras/projetos no âmbito da webarte. A poética digital nesta dissertação se origina do seguinte questionamento: como elaborar webartes que relacionem o labirinto da urbis e ciberespaço, utilizando a Entidade como ponto de conexão? Faço essa indagação com o objetivo de ampliar a trajetória artística desenvolvida até o momento. Dessa maneira, essa poética valese de alguns pontos reincidentes, como atividades performáticas relacionadas à intervenção urbana e à utilização da fotografia e do vídeo até chegar a webarte. Porém, a poética é ampliada em outros aspectos: as webartes constituem o objeto de estudo, e visam propor relações entre espaço urbano e ciberespaço, apontados como dois ambientes labirínticos; as webartes são redimensionadas pela sinergia entre obra/projeto e interator. No desenvolvimento metodológico me aproximo dos conceitos delimitados durante a prática, a qual busco aprofundar, tecendo algumas relações com o campo da mídia, da arte em geral e, especificamente, da arte tecnológica e da webarte. Quanto aos conceitos, eles emergem dos procedimentos práticos e são indagados pelo viés da teoria, bem como são testados novamente em experimentações práticas. O resultado constitui-se a partir de três obras/projetos principais, inseridas no contexto da arte contemporânea, propondo uma abordagem particular sobre aspectos da webarte.
