Abstract
This project considers interactive ambiances at street parties from the city of Rio de Janeiro. The parties in public spaces can be translated by the optics of the production of sites of resistance and by the manifestation of the right to the city. In this work, urban space is investigated in different fields: the heterotopias, the TAZ, the insurgence of the favela, the criminalization of funk culture and the production of places disseminating a resistance discourse. It is seen that specifically the black audiences have been neglected by the public management as a result of Urban Reforms and in the insurgence of a public image of segregation that is perceived until today with the concretion of the Pacifying Police Unit and the prohibition of the baile funk. Thus, it is investigated how digital arts, specifically VJing, can work in order to claim the visibility of these marginalized groups. The aim of this work is to conceptualize an ambiance for a street party preceded by three experiments implemented in free editions of parties in the city of Rio. These experiments were conducted through the invitation of party organizers and respecting the preset configuration of the chosen places, considering aesthetical movements that are part of the audience imagery.
