Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica y el M.I.T.

Dos artistas plásticos brasileros en los años 50´s y 60´s quisieron ampliar las fronteras de sus profesiones, experimentaron con el tropicalismo, la corporalidad, el reciclaje de desechos y la resignificación del entorno y de la propia vida. Practicamente sin dinero, sin apoyo estatal, sin tecnología y sin conocimientos científicos especializados, se adelantaron decadas a su tiempo y hoy son reconocidos como pioneros del arte interactivo, la performance y la arte terapia. ¿Como lo lograron? Aún estamos descubriendolos: Por su autentica y libertaria actitud ante la vida, el arte y la sociedad. Aqui un reconocimiento tardío desde el Media Lab del M.I.T

ABSTRACT
This essay discusses the artistic legacies of Brazilian artists Lygia Clark (1920-1988) and Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980), focusing on the interactive vocabularies developed from their participatory creations of the 1960s and 1970s and pointing to the practical and conceptual relevance of these vocabularies for artists working with digital communications technology. The article also explores the critical and original way Clark and Oiticica, working at the margins of capitalism, reframed modernist aesthetic issues by translating them directly into life and the body. The author concludes with an examination of the artists' interactive non-electronic works, which share common conceptual ground with the works of Australian artist Stelarc, the New York-based X-Art Foundation and British artist Roy Ascott.
