L’evolució de la mirada. El segle dels audiovisuals

Abstract

At the close of the twentieth century we can analyse in a global way, the evolution of the forms of hegemonic communication of the period: the audiovisuals. Present computer technologies have deeply modified time and space concepts and, at the same time, altered the perceptive capacities of the human being, who has had to adapt to a new symbolic scene. Art, as well, generates new forms, contents and behaviours which undoubtdly open up, new ways of expression. But the new and current audiovisuals should be understood in the generic context of the search to enlarge our way of seeing, developed throughout the 19th Century thanks to new tecnologies of the Industrial Revolution.
