Feito à Mão – Brazil

Feito à Mão (Handmade, in Portuguese) brings together three works developed from the same question: where do the boundaries between craftsmanship and automation lie? These two modes of production intertwine in a narrative thread that begins with the earth itself—Gaia—and incorporates electronic techniques that transform life and the urban landscape, challenging our notions of what it means to be handmade. Between turning the soil, reshaping the urban environment, and fragmenting the languages of art, discussions emerge about the role of manual processes in relation to new technologies within today’s artistic landscape.

lil~mér~maid~~ ~ – Portugal

Emerging from the liquid space between myth and simulacrum, a mermaid who once gave up her voice and tail reappears multiplied across digital surfaces, where the body fragments and expands through states of desire and silence. An echo, foam and ghost of an unstable presence. It unfolds a restless hybridity, haunted by scripted roles and metamorphosis to exist in the age of hyperreality.

BIO

S4RA works with video installation and immersive digital environments. Explores consensual power relations, desire and confinement, crossing the political body with liquid and post-capitalist landscapes.

DESCENT – United States

In 1562, Pieter Bruegel the Elder completed The Triumph Of Death, a panorama where black smoke blots out the sky, dead fish litter the shore, and skeletons test a myriad of death techniques. Over 200 years earlier, the Black Death wiped out half of Europe’s population, triggering upheavals that shaped medieval history. Alongside Mark Fingerhut and Forma, Burr created DESCENT, a desktop application that meditates on this darkness through a spiraling digital plague—ending with a single eye watching the rats destroy themselves.

Lavaforming – Iceland

Lavaforming is the technique of harnessing volcanic eruptions to shape new architecture. A single effusive eruption provides enough building material for an entire city. In a matter of weeks, the foundations are laid without harmful mining or reliance on non-renewable energy. In this short-film, we travel a hundred years into the future to visit the city of Eldborg. Through the eyes of its future inhabitants, we learn how the development of this technique, alongside the collapse of the climate, ushered in an era of radical change driven by architectural innovation.

Changes, Cycles, and Emergent Shapes – Japan

Generated from the same system, these sequences explore the space between images through cycles of four visual states. Instead of depicting each moment, the work accumulates traces, allowing forms to emerge as trajectories of transformation. The image is not fixed, but formed through overlapping states, where unexpected shapes emerge. What appears before your eyes is not simply present, but an illusion emerging from accumulated transformations.

Primordial Dance – United States

Experimental animation containing a progression of abstract textures and colors. It is a study of emerging and transforming mathematical equations. These effects were created using an interactive process of “artificial evolution.” The equations, or artificial genes, of the survivors are copied, mutated, and mated by the computer to generate new offspring pictures. Finally, movements are created by performing “genetic interpolations” between these evolved images.
