IGNOTO VIBRATIONS XR SCULPTURE 2022
CLIENT:RIO ART MUSEUM (MAR), GOETHE INSTITUTE
POSITION:XR DIRECTOR AND CREATOR
TOOLS: 8TH WALL, BLENDER, MIRO
Ignoto Vibrations is a mixed-reality sculpture series prototype and performance commissioned for the Museum Conference at Rio Art Museum (MAR) in Brazil. I co-created the project in collaboration with the artist Rodrigo Andreolli and the architect Marilia Piraju. As an XR director, I coordinated an international team of tech professionals (AR developer, 3D modeler, and animator) and designed the user experience.
The fire at the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro on September 2, 2018, created images loaded with symbolic force about the treatment conditions given to Brazil's scientific and cultural research. This fire caused the loss of the most important museum collections in the country's history, but at the same time made us reflect on the weight of certain historical narratives, urging us to trace new memories that re-exist beyond the destroyed matter. Fire, in its tragic manifestation, also reaches its transcendental aspect.
Based on the study of narratives brought by researchers and members of the National Museum collection rescue team, this project proposes a prototype exhibition in Mixed Reality, motivated by 3D scans of some of the recovered pieces and the memories lost in the fire.

MOURNING STAGE VISUAL EFFECTS(VFX) 2022
CLIENT:CARLOS MOTTA AND SIMON(E) JAIKIRIUMA PAETAU
POSITION:VFX DESIGNER AND ANIMATOR
TOOLS:ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS, PREMIERE AND PHOTOSHOP
Mourning Stage is a film that uses a series of drawings as a performance score. I worked on creating visual effects using face-tracking technology to animate 2D masks created by the artist Carlos Motta and move in sync with Simon(e)’s Paetau performance.
These images depict different renditions of the devil in hell. Among this group of demons, there are feminized characters that suggest sexual perversions as typified by the Catholic imagination. In the film, Simon(e) Paetau interprets and responds to the drawings using her body and facial expressions in a ritualistic performance, where the body, fetishized and colonized by morality, is mourned.

CARE AR FILTER 2021
CLIENT:META OPEN ARTS POSITION:AR DESIGNER
TOOLS:SPARK AR (FACE, HUMAN AND BODY TRACKING) AND ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR
Care was created after the pandemic. As Meta navigated their way back to the office, they faced a transition from mostly digital interactions to working in person, in real life again. To break the ice and engage the Meta community as they returned to work, Meta Open Arts prompted me with a custom set of Spark AR effects. The prompt was designing a set of Spark AR filters that play with the idea of the care emoji interacting with us.
