From the example of art works that use the concepts of an archive through the symbolic form of the database and, construction of data visualizations, we discuss in this article these articulations inside the art field; its ethical issues, and poetic and aesthetic potential.

Abstract
This project researches interactivity as a possibility for an artistic experience. Art is approached as an experience through a perspective from the body, concentrating in a context of art and technology. The interactive art provided with an artificial sensory system acquires relevance in the public mediation and contributes to the aesthetic experience. It’s perception is distinct from the human’s perception, allowing new insights of the human body. Therefore, the relationship between body and media is established from the indeterminacy potentials contained in their perceptions. As a result of the theoretical and practical research, we developed an interactive installation that promotes an encounter between the artist’s virtual body and the interactor’s physical body through the mediation of a sensitive artwork, creating an artistic experience as a bodily interval.

Abstract:
This paper emphasizes the participation of the whole body in the interaction process in art, which becomes essential in the development of new insights and artistic expressions. We approach the postmodernism and the post-medium condition, having in mind the remediation process between digital and analog media to rethink the possibilities of interactive art through new technologies. We focus in the body as a living medium, to introduce the INTEGRARTE

Abstract: The evolving digital media is changing our relationship with the world, as well as the artistic practice and experience. The use of software as a constitutive element of the artwork leads to questioning the level of programming knowledge required to the artist practice. In this paper, we will discuss the interdisciplinary relation between art and
computing by analyzing artworks and code production. Finally, we will comment on our experience at Visuality and Visualization Laboratory, with art and design students employing programming.
