In the context of an increasingly technological culture and an experience that is itself discontinuous on the one hand, as well as deterritorialised (Virilio, 1998) on the other, landscape is a fundamental experience.We need the ability to construct the distance of the gaze, determining a point of view, cut out on the creation of a sense of the whole, the invention of a connection between the disparate elements that make up the world to be seen, and felt. It is therefore urgent not to lose the faculty of landscape thinking (Berque, 1997; 2011).The absolute specialisation and technicisation that came with modernity, as Simmel (1913/2011) points out, plus the today perception of an altered, irremediably polluted and unsustainable world, constitute a serious threat to our condition of empathy (and habitability) with (in) the surrounding universe. To be able to see the relationships between what we imagine, what we know and what we see is to assume the urgency of our role as creators of the sense of connection (Cauquelin, 1989/2000) between the world of ideas and the world of senses.This proposal aims to discuss landscape aesthetic experience from contemporary artists and works of art that reinvent the genre, crossing the heritage of traditional visual arts with current technological resources, in a multimodal (Kress, 2010) way. Based on case studies, we will discuss the meaning of landscape representation in contemporaneity, framed within the problematic of our relationship with the sensitive world we inhabit.
