Voo ou cela: o papel da tecnologia na criação do imprevisível
Ana Mansur e Celso Pereira
This paper analyzes different roles of technology in the creative process of contemporary visuality. Technology apparatus have their own rules, to which the operator submits, plenty of the times in a certain illusion of exercising a genuine freedom of creation. The danger of this illusion is an atrophy of the access to the imaginative capacities of the human being. Therefore, it is necessary to notice this kind of coercion operated by technology. Is the apparatus that seems to seduce the creator to a non-human place, somehow magic, in which the illusion of control can obstruct the access to the real potency of imagination.
