</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:#222222'>Public urban space can be considered a battlefield of
conflicting images and meanings. Artists have been using this aspect of the
modern metropolis since the years of the early avant-garde. However, the
street only became a real artistic platform in the sixties and seventies of
the 20th century. Art historian Johan Pas will sketch an outline of the
ways visual artists have been dealing with the urban fabric as a context
for actions and interventions from the early 1960’s on. The focus will be
on American and European artists associated with movements as happening,
body art; conceptual art and performance. Their legacy can be read as the
prehistory of contemporary urban art guerrilla.<b><br>

color:#222222'>Would it be true that virtual space has been created to
illude people to still have freedom while being almost completely
controlled in physical reality? Artists, and especially inspired digital
artists, have historically shown a different virtual reality, unveiling how
it can manipulate or being manipulated by the individual at will,
especially when clashing in what we still consider the “public space”.
Playful, narrative, sarcastic or diabolical strategies have been conceived
and applied to show that once you understand technologies and use them, the
world around you is never the same again.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
