Abstract
La cultura visual digital y de la convergencia permea actualmente en los modos de producción, circulación y consumo de las representaciones audiovisuales, siguiendo los postulados de autores como A. Darley o H. Jenkins. En este contexto, A. Cameron define las narrativas modulares como aquellas en las que la causalidad narrativa clásica es sustituida por una estética de base de datos, en la que la narración es dividida en elementos discretos sujetos a manipulaciones de orden, frecuencia y duración. Poniendo el foco en el caso de Open Windows (Nacho Vigalondo, 2014), se pretende explorar las huellas de la cultura visual digital en el cine español contemporáneo que incorpora narrativas modulares. La metodología diseñada incorpora un modelo de análisis adaptado a esta especificidad narrativa y estética, en el marco de la denominada Computational Media Aesthetics. Se analizan los mecanismos de representación fílmica que la película incorpora a través de una interfaz multipantalla en la que los acontecimientos simultáneos se yuxtaponen en el mismo campo visual. Finalmente, se discute sobre la necesidad de aplicar esta tipología de modelos al análisis de manifestaciones audiovisuales vinculadas con la cultura visual digital, así como su aplicabilidad para futuras investigaciones.
In the present day, digital visual and convergence culture permeate the modes of production, circulation, and consumption of audiovisual representations, following the postulates of authors such as A. Darley or H. Jenkins. In this context, A. Cameron defines modular narratives as those in which classical narrative causality is replaced by a database aesthetic, dividing the narrative into discrete elements subject to manipulations of order, frequency, and duration. Focusing on the case of Open Windows (Nacho Vigalondo, 2014), this study aims to explore the imprints of digital visual culture on contemporary Spanish cinema incorporating modular narratives. The methodology employs an analysis model adapted to this narrative and aesthetic specificity within the framework of Computational Media Aesthetics. The film's mechanisms of representation are scrutinized through a multi-screen interface, where simultaneous events are juxtaposed within the same visual field, alongside an examination of the significance bestowed upon the software when utilized as a narrative scaffold. Finally, the discussion encompasses the necessity of applying such models to the analysis of audiovisual content associated with digital visual culture, as well as their potential utility for future research.
