El ímpetu de este proyecto es obtener una perspectiva histórica de algunas teorías filosóficas conflictivas sobre la percepción y representación del espacio, y rastrear un método démodé de representación, que ha permanecido en uso en algunos contextos. La investigación se centra en la tensión entre dos experiencias sensoriales: la táctil y la óptica. Es un entretejido de narrativas críticas para examinar los modos de percibir el espacio en el contexto de unas prácticas artísticas y arquitectónicas.
Partiendo del entendimiento más óptico del espacio y materializado en algunos ejemplos como el «Proun Room» de El Lissitzky, «The Void» de Yves Klein y la visualidad tectónica de Lebbeus Woods como punto de partida; este artículo se centra en las teorías de percepción espacial más táctil de los ‘Situacionistas’ y ‘Surrealistas’, con sus técnicas de mapeo dérivé, su historia/memoria mediada del espacio urbano y su enfoque del capitalismo y los sistemas de control. Todo ello se interpreta por último a través de la lente de la práctica óptica de la holografía, y su éxito (y fracaso) como herramienta y formato de representación.
