Simone Michelin - Qualiá

Centro Cultural Oi Futuro, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
Curated by Paulo Herkenhoff, Oi Futuro Rio de Janeiro hosted the exhibition Qualia, by Simone Michelin, between September and October 2010. The result of an intricate plot between technological devices and information coming from sócio-economical backgrounds, the exhibition presented an original way of thinking about everyday problems such as urban violence and drug use.
This innovative work was divided in two spaces, both introducing new technogical resources, such as laser printing on a latex surface, showing sequences developed from data on the number of casualties occurring in confrontations with the police in Rio de Janeiro, and 3D projection in mirrowed rooms, enlarging images of narcotic molecules (such as THC), which were viewed through special glasses offered to the public.
