Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, SP
Between January and March 2008, the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo exhibited the project Totoro, conceived by the collective Chelpa Ferro. Produced by Automatica, Totoro, was a complex exhibition, specifically developed for the space of the Octógono, in the Pinacoteca. Using a soundtrack composed by the group, several devices were integrated to allow the sound to occupy the exhibition space of the museum. A pulley system, with the help of a pre-programmed engine, moved a set of speakers up and down, and made them disappear, from time to time, into a wooden tube in the center of the room.
