Fragments of an investigation carried out at the end of the 21st century get intermixed with the invisibility of the object of study — indoor air.
From a speculative practice between the scientific process, the artistic process and the affective, political, social and cultural process that we create with the things of the world, the appearance of a new body is proposed. It is inside a fictionalised laboratory that we get to see this collective, symbiotic and ancestral organism; a multispecies entity that transcends the borders between terrestrial bodies (mineral, human, vegetal, animal, technological) and time and space.
The exhibition and work being presented here is the result of the artist's residency with the LEPABE laboratory team of Environmental Sciences and Technologies (FEUP), which investigates and measures indoor air quality, studying its impact on human health.
This work is a result of project 2SMART, engineered Smart materials for Smart citizens, with reference NORTE-01-0145-FEDER-000054, supported by Norte Portugal Regional Operational Programme (NORTE 2020), under the PORTUGAL 2020 Partnership Agreement, through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

This exposition is in review and its share status is: visible to all.
Exposition of the seminar "Deperfilar as artes visuais, o objeto enfrenquedor e o movimento das coisas" (Unprofiling Visual Arts, the Disturbing Object, and the Movement of Things) and publication of the same name for the series Desajustados - Coleção de Textos Falados (i2ADS). The event was organized within the “Arquipélago” program promoted by ID_CAI - IDENTIDADES_Coletivo de Ação/Pesquisa (i2ADS) in October 2024.
The results presented arise within the scope of visual and performing arts by approaching a transdisciplinary analysis of the historical, epistemological, and categorical profile in which the subject and nature are perceived, the territory is thought, and science merges.
The event and its derived publications are part of the research project program “From the top of the mountains we can see invisible monuments: transnational artistic investigation on landscape environmental changes caused by infrastructure space” (i2ADS).
