Synopsis
'Pólen R.A.' presents the mists of the city of Porto that invoke a dense telluric humidity. The augmented reality installation presented is symbolically generated by the double exercise of fusion between ice and fire, in the extensive cyclically pollinated earthly body.
Biography
Silvestre Pestana (1949, Funchal) is a transdisciplinary artist. He initiated his artistic practice in the 1960s as a visual poet, but soon established himself as a performer, a pioneer of video art and recently as a cyberspace artist. A staunch anti-war activist, he dedicated many years to public art education.
