Abstract

Nicolas Bourriaud proposes a discussion on the readability of certain artistic expressions where the absence of a theoretical dis- course can decode the social practices that shape contemporary art. These expressions social interactive ways of presenting them as a “relational aesthetics.” For this work we will use AcT to callthe complex object of relational expressions that use principles of science and technology. This set of objects, actions with aesthetic purposes will force us to look in to Latinoamerica society. The latin term tekhne or techne is the experience of the skilled tra- des or craft, designated by the ancient Greeks as the ‘ efective action ‘ and opposes the notion of praxis given by Aristotle, who is an immanent action carries within itself its own end and is di- rectly related to poiesis, while activity leading to a result, the acti- vity aims a product other than the activity itself. What we percei- ve ‘already - there’ of ‘Latin America’ is a centripetal tension from artistic conceptualism of art, utopian visions, idealists who seek an active and ‘fatal’ deviation from the course of history. As heteronomy,these don’t start formal disorder, even minimal concepts that can be classiied as social criticism, deconstructive or subversive, but are mainly subjective views of everyday, ordi- nary reality that not everyone sees, but at the same time is stron- gly familiar mainly by the mass media. These active works of art are exhibited in audiovisual forms such as video art, concrete music and circuitbending. These efective technological actions are facts that would fall outside the acceptability and normal intelligibility instituted for hegemony primarily set impulses of traditional art and come in direct contact with the language and its context, ie, supposed phenomena of signiicance with deep structures orsemes associated with the reality of Latin American society. All these topics, which serve to develop arguments are tópica l, ars inveniendi or art of invention, and its purpose part of the rhetoric, is to establish the content of the speech. Social discoursesare everything that is published and is known in a state of society, everything is represented in the media, is all that counts, it is said and understood. So, is narrating operations where we can ind an argument, are operations into discourse. The doxa in social discourses in AcT establish a new experimen- tal uses or diferent readings from the predictable. Lures inno- vation can boast a potential totalitarian, which means reducing the technologicalexperimentation foreseeable in Latin America, as a place in development. What is stated in the social life of the accused AcT strategies recognize their positioning statements, incentives projects for innovation and development, and operate according such recognition to obtain beneit from state cultural policies. As presented by Marc Angenot in 2010, the social dis- course, as global unity, is the result of multiple, but not random strategies, thus presenting somenarrow monosemic towards social transformation.
