Abstract

"De Novo, Ercília" (2012) is an interactive sound installation that invites visitors to walk through it and try different body patterns by the interaction with a structure full of rubber bands. In "Invisible Cities", Italo Calvino quotes Ercilia, a city where wires are extended in reference to relationships between people and things. From time to time, Ercilia is abandoned and reassembled elsewhere. In dialogue with the movement of urban development and the human existence suggested by the author, "De Novo, Ercilia" is intended to be itinerant and in this very first version, launched at MIS (Museum of Image and Sound), Ercília was the city of Sao Paulo.
