Abstract(s)
Este projeto tenta encontrar pontos de ligação entre duas teorias sobre o “Eu” na consciencia. Uma sob a perspectiva neurocientífica e a segunda segundo a semiótica de Peirce. Nas ligações entre estas duas teorias, este projeto expõe as suas ressonâncias e complementaridades. Ambos possuem espírito inquisitivo ao se aproximarem de um mistério, ambos utilizam estruturas triádicas de forma semelhante; e a maneira como eles descrevem o “Eu”, não como uma coisa, mas sim como um processo, um diálogo entre nossas realidades internas e externas, entre nossos hábitos e mudanças de hábitos. Cada “Eu” contribui para a regulação sociocultural nas comunidades, e ao mesmo tempo, este coletivo de “Eu’s” funciona como extensão das capacidades da mente. Com essas conclusões, este projeto se propõe a utilizar o conhecimento teórico sobre essas teorias e tentar traduzi-lo numa narrativa visual, no formato de um curta-metragem de animação experimental. A vertente experimental procurará encontrar uma colaboração entre a animação digital e a técnica de serigrafia. A capacidade de produzir em série várias impressão, cada uma com varias diferentes texturas inesperadas e usar isso em animação stop-motion forneceu resultados interessantes que deram ao processo de serigrafia uma nova vida. Outra metodologia importante abordada foi o processo de tradução que utiliza ferramentas da semiótica de Peirce para poder traduzir qualquer linguagem em visual. Com essas ferramentas, as teorias do “Eu” foram traduzidas com sucesso numa narrativa visual. Uma história sobre um astronauta (o eu) em sua nave, viajando pelo universo interior da consciência com o único objetivo de entender seu propósito dentro deste espaço aparentemente infinito.
This project attempts to bridge a connection between two accounts theories of the self. One from a neuroscientific perspective and the second according to Peircean semiotics. At the intersections of these two theories this project exposes their resonance and complementarities. They both have inquisitive spirits when approaching a mystery, they both utilize triadic structures in similar ways; and the way they describe the self, not as a thing, but instead a process, a dialogue between our interior and external realities, between our habits and habit changes. Each self contributes to socio-cultural regulation of communities of selves, and similarly, this collective of selves’ functions as extension of the capacities of the mind. With these conclusions, this project proposes to utilize the theoretical knowledge about these theories and attempt to translate it a visual narrative, in the format of an experimental animated short film. The experimental aspect will seek to find a collaboration between the digital animation and silk-screen printing technique. The capabilities of producing a series of one print all with different unexpected textures and using this in frame-by-frame stop animation provided interesting results of silk-screen process gaining life. Another important methodology approached was the translation process that utilizes semiotic tools to be able to translate a language into a visual one. With these tools, the theories of the self were successfully translated into a visual narrative. A story about an astronaut (the self) in its ship, traveling the inner universe of consciousness with the sole goal of understanding its purpose within this seemingly infinite space.
