Prepared Screen (2012-)
Prepared Screen is series started in 2012 after the interest on the growing influence of technology on our actions, emotions and forms of collective organization. Between painting, photography, video and objects, the works in this series navigate between low and high technology to question the status of the image as well as explore the impact of cybernetics on contemporary human experience and the digital biopolitical structures that surround it at a time marked by continuous crisis.

The set No Repair presents an archeology of inappropriate disposal of broken cell phone screens. Like the displays used by repair shops in the Santa Efigênia region, in downtown São Paulo, this accumulation reveals a contrast between scarcity and abundance. Knowing that electronic printed circuits are made of rare minerals, No Repair discusses an ecological problem after a ready-made artistic gesture.

Faucet (2023) is a set of interactive sculptures, through which cellulose elements are placed on top of a television that emits white light. Polarizing filters are made available so that visitors can interact with these materials in a demonstration of cross-polarization, an optical phenomenon that occurs when the direction of the light’s electric field changes when interacting with certain surfaces. This technique is used in science of materials, geology, biology, and forensic photography to study minerals, crystals, and other kinds of samples. Whenever a Faucet is on view, photographic records are made documenting the public’s interaction with the work, which are then minted as semi-fungible tokens with the ERC-1155 standard and can be collected for free.
