Abstract:
This paper intents to analyze the work “borderlines”(a collaboration between artist using digital technology to represent immigrants aspects and conditions in London). The current essay use different concepts - related to the digital technology in the art field - to translate and illustrate the context about the work and also to create questions about the terminology ‘digital art’. What is produced today that we could call digital art? How we can identify this term in our contemporary production and how this technological evolution in the art field help to develop the society? Looking in the process of this art production the technology is inserted “as a tool” to engage social statements in different contexts, and at the same time, to represent and analyse the today’s society searching for further paradigms and aesthetics.
Keywords: digital art; social art; contemporary art; ‘work-in-process’; New British Art, Joseph Beuys.
