FeelOpo is an interactive art installation that allows contact with fragments of the immaterial heritage of the Oporto City in the North of Portugal. Through location-based storytelling of the living city, this interactive installation allows visitors to explore, at different levels, several typical characteristics of this city, addressing aspects of cultural identity based on contrasting images and videos. The visitors feel and explore visual stories of the live city, through a process of appropriation and articulation of these narratives, generating an expansion of this intangible heritage.
This digital art installation has as main goal to introduce an interface through which the image of the city of Oporto (in Northern Portugal) is designed and activated by the presence of one or more people standing in the exhibition space. It brings up the metaphor of the city as a living organism allowing visitors to explore, at different levels, several features very typical of this city. A diversity of possible routes is embedded in the outfit and activated as visitors move across the exhibition space, revealing experiences by means of projected videos related to the cultural specificity of the city. In this way, as the human body interacts with the space and the screen, uncovering stories, memories, expressions, sounds, colours, textures, new designs and emotions are presented in the form of videos that narrate life fragments of Oporto and its people. Being supported by a mix of audiovisual records, FeelOpo intends to build "the beat of Oporto" through striking visual narratives.
O artigo aprofunda a correlação entre forma urbana e mapeamento de dinâmicas sócio-espaciais, decorrentes do rastreamento de fluxos urbanos com recurso a dispositivos comunicacionais móveis (por exemplo, smartphone e tablet). Entende-se que deve ser incluído na análise morfológica o desdobramento com que atualmente se experiência espaços urbanos, exponenciado pela conexão digital e acesso à internet, com apoio de plataformas digitais que processam grande diversidade de dados individuais e coletivos (exploratórios e estruturados), para além de georreferenciados em tempo real. A profusão de atividades e usos que ocorrem nos espaços urbanos requer o reconhecimento que os fluxos são aspetos-chave na análise da forma urbana. Considera-se determinante rastrear vivências urbanas, mapeando-as. O argumento apresentado prende-se com a convergência da noção de ‘forma-dinâmica’ urbana e o desenvolvimento de mapping de dinâmicas sociais e da apropriação espacial. Alude-se à interoperatividade e à multidimensionalidade de leituras processadas em modo combinatório na análise morfológica, amplificando o estudo da forma urbana. A inter-relação de métodos de análise morfológica deverá tornar explícitas, estruturadamente, regras implícitas de dinâmicas detetadas na forma urbana, consolidando a interdependência entre configuração física do sistema espacial, a perceção que dele se tem e que padrões de apropriações se conformam nos espaços urbanos.
