ARTErias Urbanas
We are ARTErias Urbanas, a group that brings together artists with different manifestations, from which we are building a movement that reflects the need to interact in public spaces, to bring art to our people, in order to contribute to the artistic development of our city, we believe the art and its closeness to people, allow us to liberate our awareness of our environment allowing us to improve it. We are an interdependent, open and transdisciplinary center for investigation, documentation, production, and cultural artistic action. For this we have identified three complementary lines of action and another transversal, Thereby the Production of cultural-artistic goods, the Cultural broadcasting and management, and the art education and training, will be united by the projects of Action-Research methodology; transversal axis that will allow us to achieve the goals set.

The sculpture is a fight between forces, a fight between the will of the matter and the consciousness of the Being; it is a game of attraction and rejection where the energy during the process of making the sculpture finishes in the given form. Nevertheless this form transforms itself from matter to a Being, with which we co-exist in a space. This Being is full of energy and its inertia confuses us but at the same time calls our attention. This unique form makes us want to observe it, feel it, and as a final proposal, invites us to touch it.

PROJECT
The following project, without precedents, tries to reflect through a sculptural proposal the interdependence between different disciplines and interact in a public space that is generated and regenerated by the contact (dialogue) between people, creating a sensory perceptual relationship between work and viewer, this is achieved through tactile, audible and visual interconnections, in a format of Urban artistic Intervention to be held preferably in streets, public squares or any outdoor areas with a big population influx.

PROPOSAL
(ohm) is a sensory perceptual sculptural proposal, which along with the group of young artists, ARTErias Urbanas, is being developed since early 2011. We propose a realization of an urban intervention through an interactive sculpture, the art work is part of a series: "Seed, essays about the poetry of forms" it is made out of bronze (a sound conductive material) and energy: we take these two qualities of matter to create a link between the art work, viewer and space. The sound comes from an electric charge on the ground and the body is only a driver that through the sculpture makes it possible to feel and perceive the relationship that constantly flows between us and the ground. , uses the energy of earth to create a relationship between itself and the art work, through the viewer, who plays the role of being the means through which the charge of the earth is carried to the sculpture by touch: the only fact of touching it, produces a sound that is modified, amplified and modulated through a laptop that sends an audio signal, which is decoded by another laptop sending a video signal projected onto any surface in the space.

Essays about the poetry of forms, is a series of sculptures on the study of the female form as a generator of life through space and time - a moving body therefore the proposed sculpture is based on the generation of body segments linked together in irruptions of time, through reading and viewing points. The translational movement of the viewer on the sculpture, generates a reading of the sculptural object, creating a narrative through specific parts of the female body, hence the form has an ascendant characteristic, using the spiral line as structuring.. As in a language characterized by a set of letters that arranged in a way have a specific meaning, the shape is worked such as letters, and its union as a language of creative-artistic expression only readable by the space and the relationship between the viewer with a time of reading.
