About this exposition

Bandeira do Brasil—the Flag of Brazil—is a ubiquitous, yet definitive icon that represents the nation of Brazil. Although many countries include astronomy on their flag, the Flag of Brazil is unique in that the astronomy represented on the flag depicts a specific moment in time: the exact minute that Brazil declared its independence. Each star represents a specific state, so moving from one star to another is effectively a virtual tour of the country. Order and Progress: a sonic segue across A Auriverde is an abstract audiovisual sojourn across the Flag of Brazil realized as a sonified and politicized astronomy show, evoking emotions and responses through the use of fantasy, mystery, exaggeration, distortion and parallelism.
