A Dive into Nature for the Artistic Creation of Journeys and Maps
Artistic projects of the Ecoarte
Abstract
This paper presents the research and artistic practice of the Ecoarte Group, UFBA/Brazil, focusing on projects that workespecially with seas and rivers. They are immersions in naturethat seek to discuss and reflect on our territory, place and how we represent it in maps and artistic works. The results of these experiences in nature are as diverse as possible: interactive installations, citizen science, environmental sensors, interactive online mapping, artistic residence on a sailboat, audiovisual performance, island walks, and audiovisual cartography. It is the report of an empirical artistic theoretical research in search of an environmental aesthetic.
