Aprender a mirar y a habitar el mundo. Paisaje y territorio bajo las nuevas condiciones de la visualidad algorítmicaPaisaje y territorio bajo las nuevas condiciones de la visualidad algorítmica

Abstract

The article explores the relationship between the configuration of the landscape and the territory and the visuality determined by the linear perspective. This cultural exercise legitimates the instrumental appropriation of nature. It is therefore proposed to link the emergence of the Anthropocene to the invention of the Renaissance perspective. With the appearance of the algorithmic image the centrality of the humanist subject comes to an end. The algorithmic image conceals the consequences of environmental destruction processes. The aerial view implemented by programs such as Google Earth generates forms of distance from the territory and the cultures that inhabit it. Some artistic practices are reviewed that can be approached as strategies of counter-visuality to see and co-inhabit the world beyond the logics of domination and exploitation of life on the planet.
