“2086”: the image between surveillance and contemplation
Abstract
This article reports the conception and production process of the video “2086” (2012) with students in an undergraduate course at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. We isolate one element that inscribe the image - its capture by the camera - and used it as a language component. As opposed to “immersive image” of virtual reality, we name this “emerging image”. Contradicting the idea of immediate transmission, it makes capturing video a moment of changing image. Mediation is the foundation of the image. We call the group Perímetro Móvel (Perimeter Mobile).
Keywords: video surveillance, emerging image, Perímetro Móvel (Perimeter Mobile)

“Velho mito da imagem total, que remonta a um passado distante, talvez ao nascimento mesmo das imagens, às origens da ideia de representação (‘Um mundo à sua imagem’). Uma ideia divina, como todos sabem.” (DUBOIS, 2004, p. 53)
"Em suma, a dimensão mimética da imagem corresponde a um problema de ordem estética, e não é sobredeterminada pelo dispositivo tecnológico em si mesmo. Todo dispositivo tecnológico pode, com seus próprios meios, jogar com a dialética entre semelhança e dessemelhança, analogia e desfiguração, forma e informe. A bem da verdade, é exatamente este jogo diferencial e modulável que é a condição da verdadeira invenção em matéria de imagem: a invenção essencial é sempre estética, nunca técnica." (DUBOIS, 2004, p. 57)
