Abstract

This study aims to explore the intersections between image and sound and aesthetics and poetics in the new generative and activist digital artistic formats. For this, we analyze the creation of two audiovisual and generative computational artworks which simultaneously constitute socially intervening artworks. By studying these significant examples, this text proposes a systematic approach to analyze and create these works, including participatory aspects which are more characteristic of activism and less so of artistic creation. With this analysis, we will attempt to highlight the role different media can play in communication processes and the aesthetic (sensory) and poetic (cognitive and communicational) impacts made possible by their joint use.
