Cinema, cybernetics and a new observation relationship

Abstract

The act of developing means of contributing to the expansion and integration of the most different fields of knowledge permeates not only the discussion about the observer's role on the process he observes. More than that, it requires us to revise their driving logic, bearing in mind that these two elements operate on a mutually intrinsic relationship in which the epistemological making transforms both. From this perspective, the present article aims to analyze the construction of knowledge and, therefore, information through cinematic making. From cybernetics concepts, it develops the idea of ​​a filmic production scientifically transdisciplinary that encompasses the individual and society. To this end, Visual Anthropology is used as a compelling example of this thinking and, furthermore, as a discipline permeated by cyber notions that are established by the dialogue between different fields of knowledge. This work is part of the master's research "The circularity of documentary: urban readings, collaboration and audiovisual", developed within the scope of Nomads.usp, and has concepts widely studied by the group.
