As an artist I pursue a transdisciplinary practice and my process evolves and takes place in time, in different contexts and through distinct materials. The collaboration between artists and scientists is no longer a surprise and is validated as a strategy by many differing authors. However, the proposed inquiry to reflect on the working relationships between artists, scientists and communicators of science, in the process of art production, became a challenging task. Through the analyses of the production of an art installation (The Therapy) developed in the context of my PhD research during an artistic residency in neuroscience laboratories and a hospital, I devised an approach that touches issues of authorship and collaboration, and co-construction of knowledge and meaning in a relational network. In creative terms, the major conclusions are the development of several novel methods of research, the resulting artefacts and the practical materialization of these via the agency of installation.
Este artigo apresenta uma ponte dinâmica entre Artes Visuais, Neurociências e Design no desenvolvimento de um projeto fronteiras como a pele do biotecnológico-artístico. A proposta de investigação artística articula corpo (humano, animal, digital) que apresenta, testa, medeia e imagina relações entre necessidades biológicas e comportamentos culturais, desafios sociais e emergência do sentido de si, interação e memória. O corpo é tratado como arquivo, superfície e interface, como desenho, em estado de devir. A pele interface entre estados emocionais e fisioló- gicos, entre superfície de demarcação sociocultural e expressão pessoal, entre mapa de experiência e máscara de aparência. A tatuagem é apresentada brevemente pela sua ligação com a permanência, com a identidade e com as novas interfaces biotecnológicas. Quando as emoções e as memórias são ligadas diretamente à transformação do corpo e visíveis ao mundo exterior, a percepção do colapsar de distância pode levar à reflexão e alteração de comportamentos coletivos.
