The piece, held this time at Caixa Cultural, Rio de Janeiro, is a sound piece consisting of a variety of different sized plastic bags, attached to the walls of the gallery by spinning electric motors. The motors are connected to a computer terminal (baptized ”big head”) programmed by the group which makes the bags spin in many different sequences and directions.

Conceived by the professor and literary critic Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda, the exhibit Blooks, Tribos e Letras na Rede (Blooks · Tribes and Words on the Net) highlighted the vast universe of the word that circulates in the internet, through interactive blogs, podcasts and sites, with the objective to map the literary creation of the new millenium. Examining 5 environments, the exhibit dives into the world of literary practice — which may include poetry, short stories, the interactive literature of the blogs, comics, graphics and cartoons — without failing to reflect the sense of excess characteristic of the net.

This collective perspective between countries and generations resulted in a selection of work that presented a mix of artists and media that offered the public a sort of critical and aesthetic mapping of contemporary production in the Americas.

Visita (Visit) was the fourth exhibition held by Automática for Projeto Respiração (Breathing Project) organized by Marcio Doctors in the Fundação Eva Klabin since 2004. This time, the carioca Paulo Vivacqua applied his spatial perspective in the use of light and sound, creating new environments and possibilities for the aesthetic enjoyment of the collection lodged in this house-museum.
The installation of the work involved the use of speakers, electric wiring, fluorescent lights, glass, mirrors and other devices, intended to create a subtle relationship between the work of Vivacqua, the household objects and the visiting public.

Conceived to last two years, the exhibition Nise da Silveira: Caminhos de uma Psiquiatra Rebelde (Nise da Silveira: Paths of a Rebel Psychiatrist) was installed in 2006 in the Museu de Imagens to Inconsciente. The exhibition brought together in three modules a broad biographical material of the psychiatrist’s revolutionary life, as well as the rich scientific/artistic collection of the work of the inmates of the former National Psychiatrist Center of Engenho de Dentro (now Institute Nise da Silveira).
The installation introduces, through photographs, works and texts, the remarkable professional life of Nise, the contact and definitive support for the first inmate artists beginning in the 50s, and for the “live museum”, which consisted of the collection of the Institute’s contemporary artists. These segments were joined to a detailed chronology of the trajectory of one of the greatest Brazilians of our history.
