Abstract
This paper examines the artist as a metaobject in public space, exploring how bodily experience, technology, and perception interlace to form new modes of artistic interaction. Drawing from the ongoing project Open_Space, the research investigates how performative and site-specific practices transform urban and rural environments into dynamic interfaces of collective memory and digital diffusion. Through phenomenological and enactive approaches, it considers the artist’s presence as both subject and object—an embodied agent who reconfigures social, spatial, and technological relationships. The study proposes that the artist’s interaction with public space produces hybrid forms of communication and consciousness, challenging the boundaries between the physical and the digital, the private and the collective.
