Ephemerides

From the Multis skull series (2015) my MA project was intended to create images of missing pieces from the original collection, which had been stolen. The UNIFESP (Federal Medicine University) collection of skulls had a total of 510 skulls and over the years, some 60 pieces have been ‘lost’. The main idea of the project was to test computer imaging tools and to create images for these pieces. From the beginning of the research in March 2017 until the present moment, images with artificial intelligence have been created. This is a technique that resulted in the set previously mentioned (Who I Am If Not You In Me), but in recent months the work has taken a different path in technical and conceptual terms. Prioritizing the narrative and its mathematical basis, the digital images are becoming more distanced from the photographic format and becoming a series of digital drawings, using Generative Art. The images of the Multis series became a source of binary data for designs realized with generative software developed by the researcher Sergio Venancio called Extentio and the current intention of this particular work is to create a calendar for each year of existence of each skull since they were acquired to the collection. At the moment skull number ‘9’, which doesn’t exist in the current collection, has been the subject of the drawing. This series represents a new step in my production because, in it, I will bring to light the aspects of my work that are in the background in all of my images.
