Abstract(s)
This proposal suggests an interdisciplinary approach encompassing the combination of urban
sociological research and artistic intervention in urban settings. We will consider the integration
of digital artworks in public spaces, chosen for their ability to generate engaging and innovative
experiences as well as extending a virtual layer of meaning over real spaces. It is our premise
that the aptitude for critical analysis and research of objects and tendencies within daily
experience normally invisible through habitual perceptions that certain artistic interventions
carry, might contribute to the development of an enriched relationship between art and the
questioning processes typical of sociology, more specifically concerning its objective of
deconstructing reality for analytical purposes. We will thus seek to demonstrate that such a
critical analysis of daily existence, which can be found both on the artistic and sociological
productions, might become a fertile ground for an emerging conscience and reflective
appropriation of mundane social contexts (namely in urban settings), as well as give rise to a
more engaged civil participation.
