ABOUT

Mutualism is a research project in art, science and technology between São Paulo and Berlin, which proposes experiments within the possibilities of new media and technologies, interacting with other means and bases such as sculpture, installation and body arts. The collective has two poles; Permutations which explores immateriality, connection, spirituality and life while Embodied explores ritual, the body, presence and death.

IN DEVELOPMENT

We are currently developing a series of abstract 3D animations using Maxon Cinema 4D as the main tool and rendered with Redshift, in addition to integrating these visuals with sculptures that reflect the movements and textures presented. The materials currently being tested are; metal, epoxy resin with pigmentation, acrylic and glass.

    FOUNDER, DESIGNER & PERFORMER

    The work of Luiza Prado (she/her, they/them) is a laboratory in which art makes it possible to materialize and illustrate scientific concepts, also suggesting a democratization of the resources used in psychological and neurological treatments and in the discussion around this subject and science in general. Her research focuses on neurophysiological responses to sensory stimuli, especially sound and image, emphasizing their construction and physical-chemical reaction in the human brain.

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.
