The study of maps has always been important for the understanding and construction of spaces over time. If in the early days of science Man understood his paths delimited by the stars in the sky, cartography materialized these routes expressed on paper, not only by tracings, but also by photographs. With modernity and its new technologies, the pace of life has become more accelerated, the distances between territories have been, in a way, shortened, and the observation of the world has also happened with the overlap between analogue images and the digital world. Cartography thus gained a new space – the virtual one – changing perceptions about real territories and the urban experience of Contemporaneity. In this sense, the thesis starts from examples of works of art that combine cartography with the post-photographic regime of computer screens and electronic devices, the observation window of the world today, seeking to understand the power of this junction between art, cartography and the digital. It is important to emphasize that the works chosen for the composition of the corpus present not only delineated routes, but also the deviations from these routes, which bring the possibility of knowing spaces in a disorderly, more free, through chance, of getting lost in the paths to finding the unexpected and thus also new meanings for these spaces. For example, affective maps will be analysed, such as the collection of letters I wish I had stayed more, from Lote 42 (2014), with reports from women and drawings of places that represent unique experiences in different cities, as well as digital platforms that make it possible to know the cities in a virtual way, such as the website Drive and listen (2020), the virtual maps of Ditamapa, which present places of memory linked to the 1964 dictatorship in Brazil, as well as the video It s never night in the map (2016) by Ernesto de Carvalho, which brings the confrontation between the images on Google maps and the very existence of the author inside the map, and the work How not to be seen (2013) by the German artist Hito Steyerl, which highlights the control and surveillance of bodies by technology, among others.
