by Sandro Canavezzi de Abreu (Brazil, 2008)
An updated version of the installation VOID, in which the public observes the contents of a “black box” (actually, a mirrored acrylic sphere into which a virtual cube is internally projected), in which sounds are fused and inextricably blended with real and virtual images, giving rise to an unstable and inhospitable internal reality. A Rumos Itaú Cultural Cybernetic Art award-winning artwork in 2007.
