Collaborative Art Experiencies Transductive Styles In Transitional Urban Landscapes

Urban art projects where environmental awareness is present can be considered as the result of a conceptual evolution that took his key point during the 60' s and 70's of the last century. After the Second World War some movements arose demanding a change in the fierce economic development of that time. Against the uncontrolled human impact on nature, several authors produced new ideas that guided a period when environmental concern was already present.This article will attempt to create a framework in order to explain how current collaborative art practices are creating a new ecological culture in our cities. These practices can be understood as open working environments where various disciplinary and social groups join together. Guided by a common interest they try to improve the relationship between the community and its environment. Therefore they develop "transductive styles" that let them manage transitory landscapes.
