| Summary: | [EN] (a)topia(s) is proposed as an Art-Based Research. It is a process of inquiry that through the artistic practice tries to reflect on real forms of dislocated discomfort of the current society. We use the concept of atopia as a metaphor of a hypersensitive reaction,which arises as a (social or individual) response to various environmental stimuli that characterize the context of globalization. The atopic is a nonspecific place, changing and difficult to locate, but whose reactions are embodied in concrete and particular situations.(a)topia(s) began in 2006 as a graphic and textual journal that explored diffuse territories between documentary and fiction in a playful, critical and reflective way. Subsequently, the means of visual experimentation are expanded: objectifying the texts, constructing objects and exploring the graphic images and audiovisual narratives. This process of practical experimentation develops in parallel with the research and definition of a glossary of key concepts. Thus, defining the globalizedsociety and whose common trait is its difficult location and invisibility, such as power, capitalism, precariousness, fear, vigilance, censorship, love, desire, freedom, knowledge.(a)topia(s) is thought as a critical experimentation of resistance, positioning itself from the making and assuming doubt, discontinuity and interference as key to the process. The materialization is conceived as part of the reflective process, paying attention to the near, not visible or undervalued, such as everyday objects, weak materials and minimal acts. The experimental process has been methodologically focused on the exploration of the media, the symbolic and narrative possibilities of the montage and the development of visual strategies of invisibilization as disruptive resources of discourse. |
