Artistic detour

How can we question, through the practice of visual arts, the proliferation of images and surrounding screens that establish a new liquid modern framework, globalizing and intrusive in our post-modern contemporary societies? Through a theoretical and practical approach and through the major concepts of the frame, the detour, the liquid modernity and the secondary notions that are linked to it, such as the "flow", the algorithmic life, the "iconomy", the "gamification", the control and the labyrinth, this thesis questions the historical evolution and the transgression of the institutional frame and of art until the appearance of the digital frame and the QR code. The conclusion broadens the reflection on the labyrinthine and tentacular aspect of the concept of the framework and the infinite path it can induce such as the possible emergence of a new man, Homo Globalis Numericus.
