Remix: política e arte na contemporaneidade

Abstract

The present dissertation, inserted in the sensitive space between politics and art, has as main objective to sketch a state of the art of remix in the era of mass data (Big Data) through different works of art in Brazil and abroad. The proposed hypothesis is that there is a strong critical (political) tendency in the works of art when operationalized through the remix - we identify them as catalysts in the marcusean molds that point out possibilities and qualitative changes in the social status quo. Therefore, from a brief revisit in the art history of the last century (1920- 2020), we seek to determine what the remix is and its transformations, more specifically its articulation with the actuality of artificial intelligence. In the development of the research, we went through authors in a heterogeneous way to support our path between the chapters, such as Herbert Marcuse, Arlindo Machado, Lev Manovich, Milena Szafir and Sergei Eisenstein, among others, seeking to establish the relationships between the state of the art of remix, montage and database aesthetics.
