Presence [a.k.a Soft n’ Silky] will be shown at FILE 10 NURBS PROTO 4KT – Electronic Language International Festival – hosted at Galeria de Arte do SESI, until the 20th of September. Thanks to the FILE festival people for everything. This trip was in part made possible by the Canada Council for the Arts from whom I obtained a travel grant.

It was nice to see again Paula, Ricardo and of course Daniel and Samuel. I would have loved to stay longer in São Paulo, but I think I made the best of my 6 days there.  I met some amazing people and had the chance to see behind the scenes of some great projects. I did not have time to see a lot of the city, but I still got a sense of the size of it.

I also got my hand on the two last catalogues of FILE Festival. These catalogues include Presence [aka Soft n' Silky] I presented at FILE Rio 2009 and currently running at FILE 10 Nurbs in São Paulo.

Here are some photos of FILE Rio from a friend of mine, Rodrigo Torres.

Until the 19th of April, Presence [a.k.a Soft n’ Silky] will be shown at FILE RIO 2009 – Electronic Language International Festival. – hosted at the Oi Futuro Cultural Center. Our trip to Rio was great. The FILE people were amazing. They put together a really nice exhibition with some really interesting works.

Here is a small video of the tests before the opening. The video quality is not great.  I was too busy running around …but there is always next time (like Sao Paulo?).

For this exhibition the project was ported from processing to openFrameworks.
