Resumo(s)
This project, situated from the discipline of design, and motivated by the desire to contribute to the decolonization of public spaces and the collective imaginary, aims to make visible the sociocultural tensions that emanate from the presence of monuments that commemorate the colonial-era in the public sphere. In addressing the issue from the perspective of cultural memory studies and postcolonial theory, it shows how Eurocentric epistemic frameworks give the colonial narrative a rationality that normalizes the domination relations imposed by the empires. In turn, it shows how mediums such as monuments, by remaining intact and glorified, end up projecting in time these power structures and reproducing them in the present. Based on the theory of remediation postulates, the principles of Discursive Design and Speculative Design, and seeking to explore the potential offered by new technologies associated with artificial intelligence and image processing on the web, an application was developed based on a fictional scenario, in which some of the most problematic traits observed in European authorities are exacerbated to the point of satire. This process gave birth to Colombot: Bring Your Favorite Colonialist to Life!, a web application that emulates the incarnation of historical figures of colonialism in an artificial intelligence, which aims to provoke debate by revealing the violent and segregating dimensions of the colonial era.
