The Real Estate Render Blackout

Alice Dos Reis

A power cut is virtually induced in a 3D real estate rendering. Views of luxury interiors in almost absolute darkness follow as the environments virtual characters, real estate agencies, consumers and other entities are forced to face and adjust to their unexpectedly dark reality.

Mood Keep

Alice Dos Reis

The world population of captive axolotl has had enough of the aggressive electric lights of their aquariums. Communicating via wireless waves and watching anime telepathically, they decide to develop eyelids to shut their eyes, reclaim the agency of their bodies and encourage empathic communication. Alice dos Reis’ Mood Keep imagines this collective moment of rebellion and resistance of the endangered salamanders.

Subcorrente

João Abreu, Ana Valentim

A marine biologist is leading a project for the mapping of one of the deepest areas of the North Atlantic Ocean. Her project depends on the controversial use of a developing biotechnology that works directly with a species of krill that inhabits at low depths. Throughout months of observation and communication, the marine biologist develops a relationship of friendship and kin with the krill swarm, while observing their movements through the nano-cameras incorporated in their bodies -- slowly moving through the deeper zones of the Ocean.
