Abstract
While metaphors are undeniably attractive, in terms of their capacity to represent the social world, they have clear limits, predominately translating concrete, physical, situations, contexts and realities. In an era of liquid democracy, molecular revolutions and climate theater, we propose to question the porosity between art, politics, protest and mobilization in the face of socio-ecosystemic issues, by shifting from fluid poetics to fluid politics. The aim is also to examine the ways in which contemporary artistic practices interact with the public. From a socio-semiotic perspective, this contribution mobilizes a corpus of performances in the public space and digital art (works on the internet), in connection with fluids (water and air) consisting of melting ice, purify water, liquefy air, sell clouds or blue sky, seeding clouds and atmosphere control.
