Can a telematic system provide an experience in art? The question is not new to artists involved with telematic systems, but it emerged again during the last three years, resulting from research on computer art, science, and telematic systems developed by artists Guto Nóbrega and Malu Fragoso at NANO Lab (UFRJ-Brazil). The idea of a “Telematic Embrace” was introduced by artist Roy Ascott in 2003 and is constantly reviewed with technological development through artistic projects that explore processes of creating artificial interfaces which in some way are connected with natural and organic elements, experimenting on possible hybridization, interaction, presence and context in telematic environments. In this paper, the presentation of practical, experimental and technological procedures are in focus, but also an approach to the subject relating artistic practices and science research in collaboration with other research groups and laboratories. We will be discussing on research strategies between artistic and scientific methodologies towards trans-disciplinary knowledge.

The idea of a “Telematic Embrace”, introduced by artist Roy Ascott in 2003, is constantly reviewed with techno- logical development through artistic projects that explore processes of creating artificial interfaces which in some way are connected with natural and organic elements, experimenting on possible hybridization, interaction, presence and context in telematic environments. We believe that telematic situation enhances the vitality of an aesthetic experience and that this experience provides a renewed state of consciousness. The idea of a plant or insect-machine-human interaction definitely enhances our capacity of perception. In this paper, the presentation of artistic practical, experimental and technologic procedures are in focus, together with research strategies applied at NANO.

This article demonstrates that by approaching children and youths as active participants in their unique social contexts, and respecting and listening to them, we get a rich insight into their lives that - as adults - we would not otherwise have. At the very least, such childand adolescent-centred data provide us with an additional and much-needed lens through which we can analyse and develop a dynamic model that practitioners, administrators, policy-makers and researchers can use to provide effective policies and services for these children and young people (Staller 2004).

En éste libro, los autores presentam reflexiones sobre cuestiones como la violencia, migración infantil, gastos públicos para la infancia, el envolvimiento de niños y jóvenes con la violencia armada organizada, el aumento de la criminalidad, los asesinatos de adolescentes y jóvenes, la importancia de la formulación de políticas públicas adecuadas y su implementación, además de todo lo concerniente a la eduación.
