Abstract

The present entangled to life has been an art's concern, which reached its culmination point in the performances of '60s-'70s. Currently, there seems to be in society a great deal of attention to the trial of this temporality. It can be easily seen on the Internet social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. The first asks, "What's happening?", the other, "what are you thinking now?" and, not satisfied with the trying to update and capture the virtual "us", it still comes to our future schedule directly, willing to know "what are you planning?".   The emphasis given to the power of creating linked to the day-by-day and to the other's present life also has been appeared with increasing frequency in some expressions of the arts linked to media technology. However, is this temporality the same as required by these social networks? If the hypothesis is that we're facing a   territorialization and colonization of the present, it is necessary to understand what kind of event is being engendered. 

Keywords: Internet; art; happening; creation; resistance.
