Based on digital visualization technologies, the work explores visual language from techno-scientific practices as a lens for viewing natural ecosystems.
As the project School of Transitions approaches the vast area of Casa de Mateus as a living laboratory, which invites different scientists, researchers and ecologists from diverse fields (geodesign, microbiology, ecological engineering, etc.) to investigate the territory, the work aims to experiment with ways of exhibiting research practices (which are continuous, active and alive). Acting as a layer of investigation over photographs of plants, soil, and crops, the images create a correlation between the biodiversity found in Casa de Mateus — vineyards, gardens, orchards (and the various species of plants and microorganisms that coexist there) — and the diversity of images, with their different scales, perspectives and fields of knowledge.
