Ciberespaço e rituais: tecnologia, antropologia e criatividade

Cyberspace provokes an unprecedented anthropological revolution. The author proposes that interactive technologies put back us into forms of communication closer to some tribal and religious rituals with their participative logics and magic thoughts. The cyberbody'interactions generate an interval zone, between body and technologies. Cyberart explores the aesthetic and artistic qualities of interactive technologies, offering moments where the interfaced body inhabits the limits between real and virtual worlds. Different kinds and levels of interactivity, the principle of mutability, of ephemeral, of come-into-being in process demanding reciprocity, collaboration, sharing information in cyberspace are proposed by commenting two recent artistic projects related to rituals and cultural heritage.
