Creating under the regime of technical-image: a reading of Videodrome and Marília Garcia

Abstract

This work brings some reflections on the production of subjectivities in contemporaneity, taking into account the virtualization and digitization regimes that prevail in the relationship of subjects with communication technologies. The reflections are based on the analysis of artistic objects – the movie Videodrome, by David Cronemberg, and poems by Marília Garcia, published in the books Câmara Lentaand Parque das Ruinas. Thus, we propose to observe how artistic objects can reveal subjectivities regarding the paradoxes of the relationship with the technologies of their time, especially communication technologies based on the production and circulation of technical-images, which act directly on the perception of time and space, and in the displacement and velocity paradigms.
