Abstract

In this visual essay, the generative audiovisual work Folding Pattern (2014) is analyzed. A collaboration between Cristina Ghetti, visual artist, and Emanuelle Mazza, computer programmer. The transition from a material pictorial work to an audiovisual work implies a significant transformation in terms of language, perception, and sensory experience. The development of this project has allowed us to study the different situations that occur in the transition from a material work (painting), which requires a more leisurely and reflective interpretation, to an audiovisual work that incorporates the variables of movement, time, and sound, generating an immersive and multisensory experience. The creation of these pieces arises from the concept of interrelating: geometry, color, matter, movement, and sound, using the languages developed in the conceptual territory of abstraction in the context of new technologies a

Author Biography

Cristina Ghetti, Independent Researcher, SP.

(she) Argentine artist who lives and works in Valencia, Spain. Visual art trends based on geometric abstraction guide conceptually and formally her work. Her production has focused primarily on  painting and installation; recently, she has  begun incorporating new media into her work, believing they can emphasize  concepts such as immersive spaces, synesthesia, interactivity, and participation, analyzing how these characteristics can enrich the conceptual dimensions of the work. She positions herself as a Latin American and feminist artist, investigating the abstract movement from its  limits, seeking alternative discourses and  hybridizations. She holds a Master’s degree in Visual and Multimedia Arts from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), Spain, and is currently developing her doctoral thesis at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Altea, UMH.

Insurgent Geometries: An Expanded Archive of Abstraction from a Feminine and Latin American Perspective. In her research, she proposes a feminist and decentralized reading of geometric abstract art.
