O sentido da participação no "estado de invenção" de Hélio Oiticica: Reflexão para uma prática ambiental

Abstract

This paper is based on a research carried out in the Master´s Program in Environmental Education at FURG, RS and points out some connections among the aesthetic and ethical paradigms found in Hélio Oiticica´s “life propositions” for Environmental Education practice. I present some meetings with Hélio Oiticica´s invention which were fundamental to make me change my way of acting as an environmental educator, visual artist, and social psychologist, and to allow me to act in other potential areas. A descontruction analysis of the transcendence of the artwork was built so that idea of the immanence of art and education could be internalized. Hélio Oiticica´s propositions – and their interventionist character, which is likely to chance reality – were articulated with environmental proposals. His inventions work on the sensory world as a perspective to change the spectator into a participant, by inserting him/her into the propositions or by transforming senses. This leads to a new understanding of the world and to the appearance of creative subjectivities.
