Art & Technology.

✖ Capricórnia. A descent into disappearance.

A psychological thriller on the edge of the map and the mind — a woman survives a violent accident only to discover she is no longer the person everyone thinks she is.

Sun-soaked, dust-bathed, and deeply unsettling. After surviving a violent accident, she leaves her home, her husband, and her child behind. A descent into disappearance, identity, transformation, and what remains when we lose everything we were supposed to be.

✖ Protester. A pandemic hallucination.

A short story inspired by a postcard sent from China by writer and diplomat Mário Araújo.

At the height of the pandemic, a political protester wakes up in what seems to be Wuhan. Is it mental confusion, collective hallucination, or conspiracy? The story was part of an exchange of postcards and short stories among invited authors.

✖ Conjuring Spirits. Horror at the edges of the world.

Twelve short stories at the intersection of horror and existential thriller — an alien invasion in a slum, an infinite supermarket, a ghost ship lost at sea, the broadcast of a space mission live on TV.

Edited by Paulo Sandrini for Geração PR10. Illustrated by André Kitagawa (illustrator of graphic novels and director of the play Gravidade Zero). The project includes an interactive component at lutav.com/Invocar — where users can summon spirits for their foes, from Tinder crushes to political adversaries. Twelve demons, twelve stories, one interactive ritual.

✖ Sagrado. Short fiction from Portal Stalker.

A short story published in the Portal Stalker collection, organized by Nelson de Oliveira.

The work belongs to an early fiction thread concerned with displacement, unstable perception, and the social atmospheres around technological and cultural change.

✖ Novel. A detective story in one page.

An investigative novel where the protagonist deciphers messages in large volumes of text, published on a single page.

The format puts the reader in the same position as the detective: scanning, searching, and extracting meaning from an overwhelming text field. The work turns reading into investigation and interface into narrative pressure.

✖ Ergodic Fiction. Narratives activated by tags.

Two literary narratives that unfold through interactive markers — defining a new paradigm in ergodic literature where the reader’s engagement reshapes the story in real time.

The narrative is activated and reshaped by the selection of “tags,” creating a dynamic, participatory storytelling experience. Acclaimed by Folha de S. Paulo as a pioneering example in the genre. By decentralizing the linear structure of storytelling, the work invites exploration of how meaning is generated, manipulated, and co-created by both text and audience.

✖ Images of the Digital Unconscious.

A new media art installation using Macromedia Flash — clicking abstract words summons a series of Google Image results, creating an evolving dialogue between language, technology, and collective perception.

Clicking “God” may reveal an image of a motorcycle. “Human” presents a distorted figure adapted for car accidents. The installation’s dynamic, collective nature prompts a deeper inquiry into how search history and the shifting digital landscape shape what we see. With each interaction, new visual panels emerge — reflecting the fluidity of collective imagination.

✖ What Did Yoko Ono Have for Breakfast?

A provocative essay exploring elements found in celebrity Twitter accounts versus those of the “ordinary” user — and how authorship is a concept that shifts depending on how each poster perceives their own “work.”

Part of doctoral research in Culture and Technology, but with implications that go beyond academia. On social media, authorship is not fixed — it’s a performance. Raising questions deeply relevant to the evolving relationship between art, digital platforms, and contemporary notions of who gets to mean something.

Presented at Media in Transition, one of the world’s leading conferences on media and technology, at MIT, Cambridge MA, 2013.

✖ The Singularity She Lives In. A monologue from the edge.

A short fiction film built as a monologue, screened at Arkadia Book Shop in Helsinki.

Performed by Siru Kovala and shot by Juha Mehtäläinen, the film belongs to the same technological-thriller atmosphere as the broader body of work: interior instability, digital culture, and the uncanny pressure of the near future.

✖ Artificial Destiny. Interactive fiction in Flash.

An interactive fiction and Flash installation for the web.

The work sits in the early web-literature period of the practice, when reading interfaces, procedural navigation, and literary fragments could still feel like unstable machinery.

✖ Marketing (heart) Us. A poster for mediated desire.

Poster design for A3Format.org, Belgrade.

A graphic artifact from the same period as the digital literature work, translating questions of mass communication, desire, and persuasion into a single printed image.

✖ TV 5 Min. Five minutes of television.

Five minutes of television zapping: Umberto Eco, a Catholic priest’s sermon, news broadcasting, JaRule on MTV, and a Tekpix camera salesman.

The video captures television as a machine for cultural collision — theory, religion, news, pop music, and salesmanship compressed into one unstable broadcast surface.

✖ Grotesk Mord. Collaborative text extracted from blogs.

Video and collaborative digital text extracted from the raw substrate of early blogging culture — set to a glitchcore soundscape by Manovski.

A document of a specific internet moment, made before that moment had been named. Screened internationally and selected into the Rhizome Artbase permanent collection in New York.
