Description
Alcântaras – o som é um sistema (Sound is a System), as the name suggests
(alcântara = bridge, in Arabic), proposes the creation of bridges that
connect dispersed temporalities and technologies, but with the same matrix:
territoriality and shared ethnicity. A certain State of Nature of living
materials that demands, more than an opposition to the Rule of Law,
a certain Ecology of Knowledge. It is a sound and visual performance,
made from the projection of a film, but which also involves the live
construction of a landscape of sounds using electronic instruments.
It is also complemented with the publication of images and texts in
a graphic print support and the virtual exhibition, for an expanded
reception of the work.
