Abstract:		Art and technology : between the sensible and the intelligible On evaluating the changes that affected art under the impact of the new digital and telematic technologies, Jean-François Lyotard makes an incisive inquiry : "What happens to esthetical experience when programmed situations are proposed as being in the realms of esthetic?" To him, there is no place to sensorial experience (in this particular case), that is, "of the senses linked to the here and now bypassing concept". As a conclusion, there is no possibility of an authentic esthetical experience. This problem motivated the participants of the pannel to evaluate the new forms of criation and reception of a work of art, taking into consideration the changes induced digital and electronic technologies. 1. Digital images and state of the visible, by César Geraldo Guimarães. On discussing aesthetical experimentation of digital images, we situate our analysis taking as a starting point the onto-iconological crisis that affects today the realm of images, as altered by the transformations on the conditions of time and space. In this work , we tried to identify the changes that the techinological civilization (Michel Serres) exacts from language, body and, even, from time itself. 2. Function and disfunction of the language in a digital era, by Roberto Moreira S. Cruz The rules that presides the operation of the new cognitive and communicational apparatus, determine the functionality of art in our time. To quote Roy Ascot : "it is an art of the system, of the process, of behavior and interaction." On the other side, a legion of artists takes hold of the new technologies as a tool to catalise criative processes in which prevail hazard, sensoriality and irrationality. Analysis of the movie Enredando as pessoas, by Eder Santos, and the performance Spalyed mind out, by Gary Hill and Meg Stuart, both reveal somo kind of language disfunction. 3. Noise as an art, by André Brasil In the development of cybernetics there was a trend to clear up the informational systems of any noise or harzardous events. Some contemporary artists are working the other way around, subverting the functions of technology, by using noise and hazard as raw material. They create works of art, in which perception is closer to the sensorial than to the intelligible. It is our aim to evaluate the aesthetical potentialities of noise, from the stand point of web art experiences.
