Transpondo cidades: o papel do cyberespaço diante das intervenções urbanas

Abstract

The possibility of appropriation of urban interventions has been showing itself a combative way to intervene in the city as long as groups, collectives and resistance movements begin to appropriate them. The characters interviewed by Transpondo cidades demonstrate how they contribute to the deconstruction and construction of the city by using hip hop culture, art and politics while they intervene in urban environment. Viewed and denominated by some people as marginal and radical actions, urban interventions dispute their place in the ephemerality of cities. The streets that seem more like galleries for sheltering walls that are used as art screen are always repainted to give way to new screens built by street graffiti. The need to transpose the city gives way to cyberspace, which allows so timeless safeguard all the records of the city that is erased and repainted every day, designating a role to cyberspace in face of urban interventions.
