Synopsis
'Sonho da Cidade-Máquina' is a sensorial portal between realities — a site-specific augmented reality installation that combines video, digital sculpture and augmented technology to evoke a parallel universe that coexists, invisibly, with the matter of the city. In this project, Porto becomes a stage for superimpositions: hybrid beings from another layer of existence project themselves onto physical spaces, activating fissures in the fabric of the real.
Biography
A multidisciplinary artist, Elisabete Sousa (1992, Santa Maria da Feira), dedicates her work to creating installations that cross sculpture, video and technology, exploring organic materials and their symbiosis with the artificial. Her work navigates between science fiction and the construction of speculative realities, questioning the boundaries between the organic and the artificial, the physical and the virtual, the human and the non-human. Her artistic practice is a constant exploration of the "other" — be it through simulation, the alien, the cyborg or machines that somehow become organic.
