De seguida, proporcionamos uma vis\u00e3o geral do papel da arte no contexto urbano e identificamos t\u00e1cticas usadas por artistas contempor\u00e2neos em resposta aos desenvolvimentos tecnol\u00f3gicos mencionados. Subsequentemente, analisamos interven\u00e7\u00f5es art\u00edsticas e projetos de design que usam estas t\u00e1cticas.<br \/>\nPor fim, apresentamos o projeto pr\u00e1tico Tweeting Antennas: (Un)dead Media in the Urban Landscape, que consiste em duas antenas modificadas que traduzem os caracteres de tweets geo-localizados nas redondezas em sinais visuais do sistema Flag Semaphore atrav\u00e9s de movimento sint\u00e9tico. A instala\u00e7\u00e3o pretende explorar e tornar vis\u00edvel fragmentos de comunica\u00e7\u00e3o digital num espa\u00e7o p\u00fablico atrav\u00e9s de uma, algo inesperada, interven\u00e7\u00e3o urbana.<br \/>\nOs resultados deste estudo revelam o potencial da arte, tecnologia e design no contexto urbano como meios para explorar, visualizar e\/ou transformar os processos de comunica\u00e7\u00e3o existentes, potenciar novas formas de comunica\u00e7\u00e3o ou subverter sistemas existentes. Esta investiga\u00e7\u00e3o proporciona um vis\u00e3o geral da rela\u00e7\u00e3o entre as tecnologias de comunica\u00e7\u00e3o digital e as cidades, ao mesmo tempo que identifica algumas das quest\u00f5es que as smart cities e a Internet of Things levantam. Para al\u00e9m disso, a nossa pesquisa aponta para a forma como estas quest\u00f5es podem ser abordadas pela pr\u00e1tica, nomeadamente atrav\u00e9s de projetos de arte e interven\u00e7\u00f5es urbanas.<br \/>\n<b>Palavras-Chave: <\/b><i>espa\u00e7o h\u00edbrido, dead media, interven\u00e7\u00e3o urbana, dados geo-localizados, visualiza\u00e7\u00e3o<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>ABSTRACT<\/b><br \/>\nThis research addresses how contemporary cities are seen as hybrid spaces, where the flow of digital information influences the experiences and interactions that occur within them. The purpose of the study is to investigate the various ways in which art and design can be used in this context, in order to explore, visualize, and alter these emerging hybrid spaces, potentially resulting in rendering the city a more unexpected and heterogeneous place.<br \/>\nThe study begins by contextualizing contemporary technological phenomena, such as smart cities and the Internet of Things, as well as the issues they raise, relating to privacy, anonymity, spontaneity, the transformation of citizens into consumers, and aspects of participation in public space. Following this, we provide an overview of the role of art in the urban context and identify tactics used by contemporary artists in response to the mentioned technological developments. Subsequently, we analyze artistic interventions and design projects that are using these tactics.<br \/>\nFinally, we present the practical project Tweeting Antennas: (Un)dead Media in the Urban Landscape, which consists of two modified rooftop antennas that translate the characters of nearby geo-located tweets into visual signs of the Flag semaphore system through kinetic motion. The installation seeks to explore and render visible, fragments of digital communications in a public space through a, somewhat unexpected, urban intervention.<br \/>\nThe results of this study reveal the potential of art, technology, and design in the urban context as means to explore, visualize and\/or transform existing communication processes, enable new forms of communication, or subvert existing systems. The research provides an overview of the relation between digital communication technologies and cities, while identifying some of the issues that smart cities and the Internet of Things might bring up. In addition, our research points out the way in which these issues can be approached practically, namely through art projects and urban interventions.<br \/>\n<b>Keywords:<\/b> <i>hybrid space, dead media, urban intervention, geo-located data, visualization<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ivan Vuksanov \/ Orient.
