Mpolis
is an imaginary city that underlines human influences in its existence
and appearance. It becomes exciting just with the interaction of
the user suggesting that this city does not exist without the people.
This city is divided in four zones that are inspired in Roger Callois
writings about games. The city footage is the starting point of
the game (documentary shots of the city of Sao Paulo). The rules
of the game are the rules of this flat city. There will never be
a formal winner. Music Gleb Choutov. (preview

installation
and CD-ROM
2001
As you click and drag a natural size photo of a man, you see moving tattoos
that hide seven parts of a meta body: the memory, the faith, the sight,
the feeling of rejection, the insecure origin, the power of modification
and the power of transgression. This is a trip into the thoughts of a
man who is the synthesis of 50 million people living around the world
as foreigners. EMMA-Award 2001. Music Gleb Choutov, Cristiano Moro and
Sigma. (documentation: 5,4MB , preview

Psychotropic
shows a very particular view of the tropics. At the start, you see how
beautiful and light it tropic land is. Later you see contradictions, you
see death and you see faith, desperation and abuse. Music: Cristiano Moro.
Psycho:
breathing, soul... Tropic: direction
of the light...

computer
installation
2001
Shown at 3x3 photography group exhibition in Sao Paulo. This installation
shows a changing photo. An animation in loop that modifies photos very
slowly that the visitor can't see the change, unless the user sees the
end of the loop lap when the very last frame turns again to the first.
This work deals with the idea of the vision being influenced by chemical
substances or special psycho stages.

Das
Genlaboratorium
Installation,
website
2001
A group of artists took a gene labor to a city gallery. The main idea
was to use the prepared tobacco plants as media. Many other ideas were
in experiment such as the factor "game" for science, genetic
algorithms to recombine music and sound fragments, the similarity of the
non-linear film cut techniques with the models of recombination of gene
etc. Artists like Björn Schülke, Valie Export and Klaus Fritze
took part of this group. www.genlaboratorium.khm.de
