Do arquivo ao novo : impactos da tecnologia digital no armazenamento e disseminação da informação na cultura contemporânea

While taking paths from the archive to the new, this dissertation reflects on the resulting impacts of the introduction, massification and dissemination of digital technology, in the way we store and deal with information, inside the complex that we understand as culture. To this end, a theoretical investigation is performed in order to build a conceptual body from which concepts are drawn in order to effectuate a practical research. The theoretical research starts with an exordium in which the concept of the archive is deconstructed in order to identify it as a device of power and to analyse its transition from a technical analog object into a digital technology. Following this, a historical context is established, drawing on the evolution of power exercises and apparatuses, and a reading of the impacts of the present technological mediation on experience, knowledge cons¬truction and forms of control is developed. Finally, some hypotheses on the evolution of technology are formulated. The practical research materializes in the form of a digital platform which takes place in two moments: one of archive, the other of program. The first moment, of archive, con¬sists of a repository of projects dealing with the dissertation’s subject. The second moment, of program, is configured as a cultural program implemented through computer programs. These, in their execution, result in performances which, taking from the information col¬lected on the archive generate a new experience of that same information. To this effect, a framework was structured in order to have computational processes systematized in a way that the performances result in experiences with a potential for novelty, expression and reflection. Both theoretical and practical components of the research seek to address digital technology not as an end in itself, but as a factor that affects human experience and behaviour
