Matter and memory: noise as allegorical fiction

Abstract

The present writing intents to investigate the work O Ruído, produced by me in 2016, based on the relation between memory, allegory, and entropy. This article proposes to approach the artwork from it's environmental characteristcs in a relation with the place in wich it was placed in order to understand a sense of appropriation of signs of culture in an articulattion that unfolds by the movements of time in a entropic situation that emerges from the sculptual matter. For such, I work here with the assistance of the artists Brígida Baltar and Robert Smithson. This discussion involves a dialogue with theoretician Craig Owens, with regards to the allegory, and the critic Nelsson Brissac Peixoto, regarding his discussion on entropy, as well with the philoshoper Henri Bergson on his conceptions of time and memory.
