Mimetic tactics of urban art. Public art in the conflicting context of languages

language: italian

abstract: Mimicry constitutes a response to the environmental pressure exerted by predators on prey in the context of natural selection. The hypothesis proposed in this article is that the conflict generated by the competition of several languages, often in competition with each other in urban systems, can be interpreted through the tools offered by this model, highlighting interesting aspects in the artistic productions taking place in that context with regard to positioning tac-tics and effectiveness on the spectator.
