Abstract:
The variables of the architectural world are shifting rapidly: cyberspace, techno-utopias, hyperreality, socio-urban ecologies, a reality presented rather than represented; combined with an exogenous, phenomenological excess extracted from the web, or banal hermeneutics of little significance, a consequence of the smudging of culture itself. Tools are at the same time presented that participate in the building up of the existential I, which are highly contaminating: images, unlike specular or catoptric images on an external mirrored backing, cease to be external gestural signs of the world and are now deployed in the inner life of the subject, mocking – as a result of their reality effects and the independence of origin- the difference between world and sign. In this way, the subject shows a feeling (that is mostly based on viewing) that replaces being, doing or knowing. Viewing is composed of four parts: scraps of reality in collage with images borrowed from other external realities, mixed with audio-visual products (real or fictitious) that reflect another imaginary reality and images of personal or borrowed fantasies that assault the subject, whose glimpses of realism, through the effects caused, leave their bearer in no doubt whatsoever.
