This paper is a conceptual, theoretical, and methodological exploration of my MFA thesis project (Dis)connections. My work combines time-based media, objects, and performance into a single installation that represents my struggles with anxiety and my desire to connect with people socially. My work is ultimately about the complexity of the structures of language and communication in all their forms and representations. I draw on research into feminist theory and gender studies as well as cultural theory as a way to ground my work in political and social issues that are continually relevant in Western culture, and to propose that by situating my stories within larger structures of power they have the ability to connect to a wider group of people.

Obteve-se, como resultado, um projeto de vídeo de longa- metragem inspirado numa narrativa curta e um diário de bordo referente ao processo criativo no qual se descreve, na medida do possível, como aconteceu o processo criativo do próprio pesquisador. Obteve-se, também, uma pesquisa secundária sobre a vida e a obra do autor da narrativa que serviu de alicerce à pesquisa, no intuito de estabelecer elos entre elementos amplamente conhecidos, embora sem associação visível. No corpus da tese apresentam-se três versões, temporalmente distanciadas, da diegese do vídeo: o roteiro literário, a decupagem e o storyboard. Já a parte gráfica da tese se divide em duas seções: o subcapítulo que inclui o storyboard e um apêndice integrado pelas cenografias, os figurinos, os objetos de cena e as locações. Este último foi realizado de forma a complementar e comprovar a hipótese após a escrita. Por sua vez, os pós-textos compreendem os apêndices e os anexos da tese. O conjunto do apêndice I visa a quantificar e documentar as mudanças acontecidas durante o processo criativo. Já o apêndice II salienta os objetivos da direção de arte, enquanto o apêndice III apresenta uma análise, no campo das artes, da figura e da obra de Novás Calvo, desconhecida no meio acadêmico brasileiro, razão pela qual o referi do apêndice resulta um desdobramento necessário da pesquisa. O anexo ¿ complementar ao tópico anterior ¿ apresenta uma transcrição da edição mexicana da obra que deu origem à pesquisa, no intuito de oferecer parâmetros adequados no que diz respeito aos elementos que integram o processo criativo. Contudo, tem-se ciência de que o produto final da pesquisa videográfica aqui apresentado representa apenas mais um estágio, intermediário, do processo quanticamente infindável de objetivação da criação artística / Abstract: This research is about the process involved in the transcodification of a literary piece into a video film, as well as its further development. Our aim was to produce a motion picture project based on a short story written by a Cuban artist, Lino Novás Calvo. We also intended to describe the researcher own creative process on a diary. Since Novás¿ work was the foundation stone of this project we have done a research of his life and work in order to establish links among elements related to them that are not usually associated. On the thesis corpus there are three different versions of the video narrative: the master scene script, the shooting script, and the storyboard. The graphic part of the thesis has been divided into two sections: the subchapter that contains the storyboard and an appendix part, describing the scenery, the wardrobe, the props, and the film locations. The appendix part above mentioned intended to prove the thesis hypothesis, after the thesis¿s corpus had been finished. In addition, the postscripts include the thesis¿s appendix and attachment. The appendix intended to quantify and document the changes that occurred along the creative process. On the other hand, the appendix number two underlines specially the art direction objectives, while number three presents an analyzes Novás Calvo¿s life and work, that are completely unknown to the Brazilian scholars, within the arts field framework. The attachment presents the Mexican edition of the short story that originated this research with the intention to offer adequate comparative parameters in regards to the elements that integrate the creative process. Yet, there is the awareness that the videographic research final product is simply one more stage in the process of objectifying art-creation / Doutorado / Doutor em Multimeios

As séries Paisagem de Contagem, UM, Travessia, Horizontes, Broto, Estâncias, Crepúsculos e Madonas investigam por meio da fotografia, do vídeo e da pintura, a paisagem sob três eixos principais: internalidade, substancialidade e percepção temporal. Como linha de base, as obras produzidas buscam trabalhar com a idéia de um registro visual da paisagem externa pela lente interna ao tempo do vivido aqui investigado nas naturezas de sua formação e organização visual. Este trabalho está organizado em três partes ATO I, ENTREATOS E ATO II que se afirmam como núcleos de conhecimento complementares: Em Ato I, o núcleo visual é exposto em grupos de imagens que revelam as obras aqui produzidas nas séries de trabalhos indicados. Em ENTREATOS exponho meus diários pessoais de criação na intenção de tornar visível os alicerces internos que compõem cada concepção. Já em Ato II apresento o núcleo teórico reflexivo que se organiza a partir de cada trabalho. Neste os autores e artistas escolhidos para construção do corpo teórico objetivam explicitar os trilhos por onde cada trabalho caminhou para tecer em conjunto a malha reflexiva que permeia o olhar criador / Abstract:The PhD thesis in Visual Poetics entitled The Internal of Time has 8 sets of work undertaken between the years 2007 and 2009. The series Contagem Landscape, UM, Crossing, Horizons, Broto, Estancias, Sunsets and Madonnas investigate through photography, video and painting the landscape in three main areas: internality, substantiality and time perception. As the baseline, these works seek the idea of a visual record of the external landscape through the inner lens of the time lived, here investigated in the nature of their visual creation and organization. This work is organized in three parts: ACT I, ENTRACTE and ACT II, which claim to be complementary knowledge centers: In Act I, the visual center is shown in groups of images that reveal the series of works displayed. In Entracte I expose my personal diaries with the intention of making visible the internal foundations that make up each conception. In Act II I present the reflexive theoretical center that is constructed from each work. The authors and artists chosen for the theoretical framework aim to show the path that each work walked through and collectively they create the reflexive fabric that permeates the creator's eye / Doutorado / Doutor em Artes

A presente pesquisa explora o YouTube como campo de criação da performance art contemporânea. Em primeiro lugar o site é abordado com foco em suas implicações culturais, empregando tanto uma bibliografia específica sobre o YouTube como autores que refletem sobre a subjetividade contemporânea, destacando-se neles aspectos que se relacionam com as práticas dos usuários do site. Em seguida é analisada uma seleção de obras de performance no YouTube realizadas por artistas de diversas nacionalidades. Elas estão reunidas em cinco vetores: #camgirlsattwhores, que trata da mulher e do feminismo na internet, apoiando-se principalmente no trabalho de Erica Scourti; #persona-ironia, que se baseia nas teorizações de Renato Cohen sobre a persona performática; #anti-confissão, que aborda a prática da confissão segundo conceitos desenvolvidos por Michel Foucault, Óscar Cornago e Christopher Lasch; #corpo-efeitos, no qual a principal referência é o trabalho de N. Katherine Hayles sobre o pós-humanismo; e #prank, que conta com as teorizações de V. Vale e Fábio Salvatti. Na etapa final, são realizados experimentos práticos no YouTube, inspirados nos ideais de Joseph Beuys e Allan Kaprow, e nas práticas artísticas de Petra Cortright. A pesquisa articula, portanto, diversas perspectivas culturais e artísticas, tanto teóricas quanto práticas, para apreender o objeto de estudo, defendendo um novo tipo de arte que transborde o mercado e as categorias tradicionais e propondo um uso desartístico e lúdico das tecnologias atuais. / This work explores YouTube as a field for contemporary performance art creation. Firstly, the research approaches the website focusing in its cultural implications, investigating specific literature about YouTube as well as authors that reflect upon contemporary subjectivities, highlighting in them aspects that relate to the website users\' practices. Then, it analyses a selection of works by performers of various nationalities, gathering them in five vectors: #camgirls-attwhores, which deals with women and feminismo on the internet, relying mainly on Erica Scourti\'s work; #persona-irony, which is based on Renato Cohen theories on the performative persona; #anti-confession, which addresses the practice of confession making use of concepts by Michel Foucault, Óscar Cornago and Christopher Lasch; #body-effects, in which the main reference is the work of N. Katherine Hayles on post-humanism and #prank, which relies on writings by V. Vale and Fábio Salvatti. Finally, practical artistic experiments on YouTube are carried out, inspired by the ideas of Joseph Beuys and the artistic practices of Petra Cortright. Therefore, the research has articulated multiple cultural and artistic perspectives, both theoretical and practical, to seize the object of study, advocating a new kind of art, one that overflows traditional categories and the art market and proposing an unartistic and playful use of current technologies.

Das inúmeras apresentações gravadas, algumas se destacavam, trazendo o problema: o que faz essas imagens mais intensas que outras? Como alguns poucos sujeitos conseguem, com o corpo, provocar sensações tão intensas no tempo de suas encenações? Do conjunto das gravações, oito foram escolhidas para compor o objeto deste estudo. A análise dessas imagens levanta como principais conceitos as ideias de dispositivo e processos de subjetivação, teorizadas principalmente por Michel Foucault e Gilles Deleuze, e a proposição da câmera como ferramenta de relação, defendida por Jean-Louis Comolli. Os conceitos são aprofundados e colocados em diálogo com outros autores, assim como com as imagens das quais emergiram. São destacados dois dispositivos essenciais às análises dos modos de subjetivação em jogo nas imagens: a câmera e o videokê. A partir daí evidenciam-se: as linhas de sedimentação, ligadas ao aspecto molar do dispositivo, presentes nas performances como reproduções dos espetáculos da cultura de massa; e as linhas de fratura, ligadas às apropriações criativas do dispositivo. Nelas são revelados como certos indivíduos realizam apropriações dos dispositivos e dos espetáculos midiáticos para produzir um conhecimento de si, sobre as formas como o corpo se põe em cena e produz momentos de intensidade na tomada. Conclui-se que são os processos de subjetivação como autoafecção que são capazes de produzir as imagens intensas. Por fim, como resultado deste processo, que transita entre a prática artística e a teoria, é realizada uma instalação audiovisual / Abstract: This research is based on an videographic experimental artistic process, in which footage of videoke's singers were made, in the city of Fortaleza, Ceara state's capital. Among the numerous recorded performances, some stood out, raising the problem: what makes these images more intense than others? How can a few individuals provoque, with their bodies, such intense sensations in their performances? Eight recordings were selected, from the entire set, to compose this study's object. From the analysis of these images emerges, as most important concepts, the ideas of device and process of subjectivation, mainly theorized by Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, and the proposition of the camera as a tool for relationship, defended by Jean-Lous Comolli. Those concepts are examined in depth and put into dialogue with other authors, as well as with the images from which they emerged. Two devices are highlighted as essential to the analysis: the camera and the videoke. Based upon that, becomes evident: the lines of sedimentation, related to the devices' molar aspects, visible in performances as a reproduction of mass culture's spectacles; and the lines of fracture, linked to creative appropriation of the devices. Those cases reveals how certain individuals are appropriating the devices and midiatic spectacles in order to produce a knowledge about themselves, on the manners to impose the body on the scene and produce such intense performances. In conclusion, it is the processes of subjectivation as selfaffection that are capable of producing the intense images. Finally, as a result of this process, which, from the beginning, is both theoretical and artistic practical, an audiovisual installation is assembled / Mestrado / Multimeios / Mestre em Multimeios

Cette thèse traite de la définition et des prolongements politiques de l’identité, questionnés à travers la manifestation de l’intime dans l’art vidéo des années 1970 à nos jours. L’intime est pensé aussi bien en tant qu’effacement des frontières entre le privé et le public qu’en tant que nature de la relation entre la vidéo et ses spectateurs. Le champ de recherche est géographiquement limité à la France, au Brésil et à la Turquie, de par la particularité de leurs rapports respectifs à l’identité culturelle et nationale : la jeune identité turque née des cendres de l’empire ottoman, entre Occident et Orient ; l’identité brésilienne, fondée sur l’hybridité ; l’identité française à l’épreuve de l’immigration. La première partie, structurée par une approche géographique et chronologique,expose les grands traits de l’histoire de l’art vidéo sur ces trois territoires et certains événements sociaux et/ou politiques marquant les choix esthétiques : les coups d’Etat au Brésil et en Turquie, l’avènement de la modernité turque, le mouvement anthropophagique brésilien, le reflet du mouvement féministe dans l’art français. Les thèmes majeurs qui y sont évoqués, comme le nomadisme, la relation entre le centre et la périphérie, le cinéma comme lieu d’invention des identités, dirigent les deux parties suivantes qui s’articulent autour des déplacements psychiques, géographiques et disciplinaires. Par le biais de l’analyse d’oeuvres vidéographiques de douze artistes - Nil Yalter, Regina Vater, Dias & Riedweg, Kutluğ Ataman, Fikret Atay, Şener Özmen,Thierry Kuntzel, Rebecca Digne, Brice Dellsperger, Wagner Morales, Pierrick Sorin etRafael França – on construit une réflexion sur la détermination de l’identité et la nature politique de l’intime. / This thesis discusses the definition and the political extensions of identity, whichit questions through the expression of the intimate in video art from the 70s till today.The intimate is considered not only as the fading of borders between the private and the public but also as the nature of the relationship between the video and its viewers.The field of this research is geographically limited to France, Brazil and Turkey,because of the particular relation of each of these countries to the notion of cultural and national identity: the young Turkish identity, born from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, standing between the West and the East; the Brazilian identity, established upon hybridity; the French identity, put to the test of immigration.The first part, which is structured by a geographical and chronological approach,exposes the important traits of video art’s history on these three territories as well assome social and/or political events which have left marks on the aesthetical preferences:the Coups d'état in Brazil and Turkey, the advent of Turkish modernity, the cannibalistic Brazilian movement, the reflections of the feminist movement in Frenchart. The major themes mentioned in the first part, like nomadism, the center-peripheryrelations and the cinema as a space to invent identities, guide the following two partsbased on psychic, geographical and disciplinary displacements. Through the analysis ofthe videographical pieces of twelve artists - Nil Yalter, Regina Vater, Dias & Riedweg,Kutlug Ataman, Fikret Atay, Sener Özmen, Thierry Kuntzel, Rebecca Digne, BriceDellsperger, Wagner Morales, Pierrick Sorin and Rafael França – a thinking on the determination of the identity and the political nature of the intimate is built.

Cette thèse explore comment l’art actuel, plus spécifiquement vidéo, permet d’interroger le rapport entre corps et images. Un lien étroit les unit aujourd’hui ; l’art vidéo, fruit de ce temps postmoderne, paraît assez adapté à son exploration. Tout d’abord, les modalités d’influence de l’image sont déclinées. Quatre sources appuient l’élaboration d’hypothèses : les théories psychanalytiques et phénoménologiques, des faits de société, des productions artistiques (provenant aussi bien d’artistes confirmés que de notre propre pratique) et les théories de l’image (histoire de l’art et esthétique). Une série de conclusions en ont été déduites : l'Homme actuel semble peuplé d’images ; celles-ci participent à la structuration de la perception, concurrencent les souvenirs et concourent à la détermination des formes de l’élaboration mentale. De ce fait, l’image définit significativement le corps postmoderne. Mais plusieurs rapports aux images restent possibles : l’utilisation, l’interaction, l’expérimentation. Ensuite, par le potentiel oscillatoire de l’art vidéo, l’interdépendance corps/image est approfondie. La partie II met en regard corps sensible et corps représenté à travers les traces fluctuantes du référent dans la représentation vidéo – par les couples apparition/disparition, surface/épaisseur, sens/non-sens – afin d’explorer le corps rêvé, vécu et le rapport au corps représenté. La partie III montre le jeu entre la liaison et la déliaison du corps représenté avec le décor – porté par l’incrustation, le remontage et la composition vidéo. Cela permet d’aborder le positionnement et l’articulation, du corps et de sa représentation, aux images. Cette approche désigne également ce qui dans le corps représenté fait corps et ce qui dans son articulation au décor fait obstacle : le corps désirant. / This thesis explores how contemporary art, more specifically video, interrogates the relationship between body and images. A close link binds them together today; video art, native to postmodern time, seems adapted to its exploration. First, influence modalities of the image are developed. The hypotheses are constructed on four sources: psychoanalytical and phenomenological theories, socials realities, artistic productions (both from known artists and from my own practice) and image theories (art history and aesthetic). A succession of conclusions have been deducted from them: today’s human seems to be inhabited by images, these participate to the structuration of perception, compete with recollection and contribute to determine the shapes of mental elaboration. Consequently, the image define significantly the postmodern body. But various relationships to images remain possible: utilization, interaction, experimentation. Then, with the oscillatory potential of video art, the interdependence between body and image is detailed. Part II compares sensible body and depicted body through the fluctuating marks of the referent in video representation – working with the appearing/disappearing, surface/thickness, sense/nonsense pairs – to explore the dreamed, lived body and the relationship to the depicted body. Part III shows the interplay between linking and delinking of the depicted body with the backgrounds – bore by chroma keying, reediting and compositing. This allows to apprehend positioning and articulation, of the body and its depiction, to images. This approach also points out what in the depicted body reveals the sensitive body and what in its articulation to the background resists: the desiring body.
