Mostra Bug

08/14/2018 — 09/09/2018

Oi Futuro do Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, RJ

The central focus of Mostra Bug was an immersion in the universe of new digital narratives, still little known and explored in Brazil. Under the curatorship of André Paz, Julia Salles and Arnau Grifeu, researchers and organizers of interactive projects, the show combined an exhibition with an international conference and workshops. During the exhibition, around 50 interactive immersive narratives were presented in the form of web-documentaries, projections, interactive documentaries, 360 videos, virtual reality animations, augmented reality, sound maps and transmedia projections [projection, interaction station + cell phone]. The curators sought to offer a panorama of the principal international creative centres and the production of the Brazilian scene, with a focus on non-fiction, and adopting an anthropological approach. The works included an inventory of sounds from the historic cities of the state of Minas Gerais – a multi-platform project created by the documentary makers, Marina Thomé and Márcia Mansur. Mostra Bug emerged from networking, research and support for new projects provided, over three years, by the laboratory Bug404 [bug404.net], in partnership with Automatica and with funding from Oi Futuro.
