PRESENTATION Anaisa Franco has a Master in Digital Art and technology at University of Plymouth in England, UK and graduated in Visual Arts at FAAP in Sao Paulo.

In the last years she has been developing New media Experiences in Medialabs, residencies and commissions such as Medialab Prado, Mecad, MIS, Hangar, Taipei Artist Village, China Academy of Public Art Research Center, Mediaestruch, Cite des Arts, ZKU, SP_Urban, MAC Fenosa, CCS and Vivid Light Festival in Sydney and others.

Mostly of the works were developed by grants and prizes and has been exhibiting in America, Asia and Europe as the as EXIT Festival in Paris; ARCO Madrid in Spain; Europalia in Brussels; Live Ammo at MOCA Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei, Taiwan; TÉKHNE at MAB Museum of Brazilian Art in São Paulo, Brazil; Sonarmática at CCCB Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain; the 5th Seoul International Media Art Bienalle, Seoul, Korea; Vision Play at Medialab PRADO; Experimenta Biennial in Australia and many others.

I am searching for the expansion of the human senses by building sculptural interfaces that interconnect the physical with the digital using concepts of psychology, cognitive science and dreams providing behaviours, feelings and

imagination for the sculptures and installations.

I intend to artistically elaborate an “affective” situation where people expand their senses through the interaction with the sculptures by creating new shapes, relationships and experiences between the people, the subjects chosen and the technological material we have available in the market.

As an artist, I want to communicate and be closer to people. I am interested in reaching out for situations that escape from our control, new means of perceiving and expanding our reality via artistic experimentation with technological new materials. Rethinking the role of art in our contemporary technological society means expanding the subjects we are daily confronted with and the spaces we inhabit, in order to expand and enrich our lives with an added aesthetic and creative dimension. I am interested in the realm of the collective, beyond the private dimension of art and enhancing the channel of communication with people: this is why I am particularly fascinated by the power of interactive art and public art.

Sweet Reflection A digital kitchen to eat your selfie 2016

Sweet Reflexion is an art installation in a form of interactive parametric honeycomb pavilion where the audience interacts with their face mapped through photography and transformed into chocolate and pancakes using 3D printers. The public can literally eat themselves. Also, an adhesive of people’s faces is placed in each of the architectural cells in hives format. The project seeks to revive and map the immigrant neighborhood (Korean, Bolivian, Mediterranean).

The generative architecture and digital fabrication of the work enable the creation of complex and heterogeneous forms in hexagonal cells resembling the biological and organic structures of bees in creating the honey, natural sweet. This work will generate interactivity and social participation system giving a cannibalistic outline shows a playful and active way the idea of random construction of several layers transform the facility into a kind of temporary memorial neighborhood assimilating transient anthropology in printed panels and edible units.

Commissioned by Public Art Show URBE. Project by Anaisa Franco in collaboration with Rodrigo Waihiwe.

The Heart of the City Sensitive Sculpture 2014

The Heart of the city is an interactive public art sculpture that pulses light according to the heart- beat of the people. The sculpture invites several people to sit and interactive with it.

When a person places its finger on the pulse sensor located in one of the seats of the sculpture, it starts light on and off according with the rhythm of the heart beat of the user. When nobody is touching the pulse sensor, the Heart of the City has its own rhythm and illumination.

The piece aims to bring closer the heartbeat of the citizens by creating a heart to the city where people could hang out and experience an expansion of their own heart shared with others.

Wave of Rainbow Public Interactive Artwork 2012

Wave of Rainbow is an interactive public artwork made for The Fourth Westlake International Invitational Sculpture Exhibition in Hangzhou, China.

When someone enters inside the corridor, sensors activate the air pumps and all the tubes start bubbling. It is formed by 28 acrylic tubes filled with water, 2 air pumps, sensors and 7 colors led lights.

The concept of the proposed project is about adding fantasy in ones journey while visiting the park and making it a fanciful experience. To accomplish that the artworks use technology to evoke, in a cheerful and metaphoric way, feelings of acceptance, belonging and self-stem.

A colorful ovation to a visitor who walks through a path, a corridor filled with water bubbles and lights producing a sensation of being inside a wave, are only means to trigger very deep emotions and making the visit to the park a rich experience.

The artwork was also thought to promote the possibility of harmony between technology and nature. In order to do that, the construction and overall design does not compete with the environment, on the contrary, they are more like places to be discovered. The visitor experience is intended to be distinctive while keeping the visual and park’s atmosphere.

Onirical Reflections facade Interactive Public Artwork 2013

Onirical reflections is an interactive facade that uses the face of the user as an architectural land- scape which open doors for the face’s senses. Animations are projected and mapped on the face of the user; who see it throughout the reflected image of a giant facade.

A software of face recognition will be developed to map and display the animations over the face. It uses a computer, a camera and a facade of Fiesp Sao Paulo.

Onirical Reflections Interactive Sculpture 2013

Onirical reflections is an interactive sculpture that uses the face of the user as an architectural landscape which open doors for the face’s senses.

Animations are projected and mapped on the face of the user; who see it throughout the reflected image of a mirror.

Was created a software of face tracking to map and display the animations over the face. It uses a computer, a projector, a camera and the mirror.

The project seeks to distort the reality of the person who looks at herself, my interest is in using the face as a resource of images projection and re-projection of reality. Inside our brain is contained all the images that we process the outside world and ourselves. My interest is in the distortion of the reality that is built isnide us, bringing the architectures of dreams out.

Project developed with Jordi Puig.

Heart Dialogue Sensitive Sculpture 2014

Heart dialogue is a sensitive object that follows the heart beating of the person who places its finger on it. The piece aims to bring closer the heart beating to the user. Our heart is beating 24 hours a day and is what make us alive. The piece is a way to materialize and bring to life this simple but indispensable life pulse.

Project developed during Interactivos Birmingham at MAC, Birmingham, UK. Collaborators: Pablo Ripolles, Shamin Miah, Arron Moore.

Devenir Interface of gender fluctuation

Award the Edith-Russ-Haus Award for Emerging Media Artists in Germany.

2013

It is an installation that consists of a interactive mirror that floats the gender and the voice by using an interface of a mirror thast is an ipad with an antique frame programmed with face and voice recognition and a projection of histories of transexuals telling about experiences of gender transition.

So, the project allows the people to listen gender transition histories, while they experiencie their own methamorphoses. The voice and face are floating the genre, reaching the androgynous.

Devenir is creating an interface that provides an experience while metamorphose the identity of the face and voice.

The project aims to reflect on the gender division, the social and political construction of the body, the flow of biological identity. What we imagine as biological division between man and woman, male and female and that is a social construct, where we shall subject ourselves to a machine control software and the experience would be a way to disable it.

Expanded Eye lnteractive sculpture

Award VI Edition of ARCOmadrid/BEEP Electronic Art Award 2008

Expanded Eye is an interactive light sculpture composed by a big transparent eye sculpture suspended from the ceiling; the big eye looks to the user, but it’s in fact user’s eye which is projected inside the sculpture. The sculpture recognizes the user’s eye blinking and generates an interactive animation based on it.

Each blink of the user multiplies the number of eyes in the projection in a fragmented, hexagonal and dislocated way. The core of the piece is to expand the view of human beings, transforming the view into a multiple and hexagonal expansion as the ultra complex insect’s compounds eyes structure.

Throughout breathing Interactive sculpture 2011

Throughout breathing is an interactive breathing machine that accompany, amplifies and expands the act of breathing. It is performing a new way of experiencing respiration, expanding it throughout a machine interface and the space.

The user will breed in a microphone that will activate all the sculpture activities at the same time (inflatable lungs and body moving air in and out + turn on fans for powder movement + sound augmentation of respiration + turn on ribs lights). The sculpture is going to breath together with the user and the user’s sound will be distorted and augmented.

The project seeks to amplify the action of breathing through the use of oniric elements that all together compose a kind of mysterious performatic orchestra.

Work developed with Andre Perrotta.

2. TAKING OBJECTS OUT OF THEIR INERTIA This section shows technological interfaces breathing a certain type of life/emotion/dream into them activated by people through the use of a diversity of sensors triggered by touch, human presence and body tracking.

Most of the works are from the Psychossomatics Series Psycho means mind and soma means body.

Its another type of mirroring effect: From Mind to body That can happen only in humans, so I decided to do anxious, confused, frustrated objects that exists only inside a mirror relationship with people.

In this section I also show works that share memories with people using bluetooth and a dreaming state robot legs.

16

On Shame Interactive Sculpture 2014

On Shame is a dome digital mirror interface that distorts the person who looks on it accompanied with sound. The work is from the Psychosomatic Series.

Work developed in collaboration with Scott Simon during Art in residence at Creativity and Cognition Studios at UTS, University of Technology in Sydney, Australia. November, 2014.

Frustration Interactive mirror 2012

Frustration is an interactive digital mirror that breaks the body of the person who looks to it into hundreds of pieces as if it was a broken mirror.

The mirror works with a 42-inch LCD television, a computer and a camera.

The camera captures the silhouette of the person and a software developed breaks the person.

Frustation is part of a series called Psychosomatics; which is formed by several electronic sculptures where each work is loaded with a kind of human emotion. Through contact with the work, the viewer will experience and revive these emotions, creating a sensible dialogue that potentiates with the use of interfaces. The emotions treated in this project are anxiety, fear, hysteria, confusion, shame and frustration. Those studies are physically embodied forming thinking, behavioral, reactive and sensitive sculptural beings, which are positioned through the interconnection of the digital with the material.

20

Paranoia reactive sculpture 2010

Paranoia is a reactive object (sculpture) in form of a mouth that when someone gets close to it, it open, scream and smile. The project has been developed in collaboration with the Electronic Engineer Akinori Kinoshita from Gigabyte Company and the artist Meng Yuan Lee. The project was developed during a residence at Taipei Artist Village in Taipei, Taiwan. It was supported by Sacatar Foundation in Brazil http://www.artistvillage.org/ http://www.sacatar.org/

Alienated Routine Behavioral sculpture 2010

Alienated routine is an installation formed by a suspended sensible behavioural robotic sculpture, a round projection above it and the user as the interactor.

The sculpture has a shape of 6 unified fingers divided by 2 beings with three fingers each, all of them are held together representing the humanity society and above it is projected an animation of a graphic city in movement, which represents a symptomatic city of the 21st century. The spectators are representing the power.

When the people approach to the installation, the sculpture and the graphic starts to turn around in orbital movements generating alienated routines by a defence mechanism built for it. The spectator’s presences disestablish and disturb the sculpture.

Alienated routine installation is a reflection and a metaphor on the capitalism system society of the 21th century; it searches to perform a new representation of the system in humanity society through the use of semiotic symbols, metaphorizing the alienation movements and process lived by an actual society on the symptomatic cities of 21th century.

Equipmentes for Exhbition: The robotic Sculpture, a projector and a mac computer.

The work is financed by MIS Museu da Imagem e do Som and developed in HANGAR medialab in Barcelona, Spain. It is an exchange program between Hangar and MIS.

Unreachable Safety Sensible sculpture 2009

Unreachable Safety is a touch sensitive electronic light sculpture in a form of a semi transparent arm fixed in the wall. The arm, when touched by the spectator, turn on their lights and intensify it.

The red luminous intensities of the member remits to an amplified sensation of the feeling of security and emotional reciprocity exchanged between two people, however, the project seeks to question the sensation of trust as an unreachable feeling by the simulated situation presented.

The project questions the guaranty in contemporary life where people are constantly insecure by the media, government and capitalist system, presenting the existence of security only within a systematic simulation.

Connected Memories lnteractive sculpture 2008

Connected Memories is a machine that symbolically function processing and bringing to the conscious level stored remembering. The work structure is made by a database in expansion that stores memories in form of narrations and audio visual. The installation is formed by two transparent light sensible sculptures that dialogue between each other, exchanging memories, feelings and remembering. Each head has a Bluetooth and the people could interfere in the dialogue by sending text messages and videos using their mobile devices. The system immediately reproduces the files through a synthetic voice and TV, which are stored, been part of the head’s collective unconscious memory database. The heads also emit feelings that are expressed through light intensities that feel the user presence in the space.

Locked Memories Audio Visual sculpture 2009

Locked Memories is an audio visual sculpture in form of a head locked with a key in the mouth. People are hinted to unlock the head and open it. When open, they find a small TV showing animations on the process of dealing with locked memories. Sounds also exhale from inside the head.

The memories are stored and retained in the head and they show mostly in forms of images and sounds through the memories and thoughts that are processed in the brain.

The sculpture in the shape of a head with the key in the mouth is used as a metaphor of the process of opening the mindzand find these images as if they were their own thoughts that activate the user a sensation of rescuing their own hidden and locked memories.

The animation makes uses of coherent symbols in the theme to intensify the individual exploration of each one in the project. Symbols as barriers in movements, locks, holes, x-ray images, that primarily search the flux to open to open and revive those memories. Going against the deep through the physicality of the subject in a movement to look inside through the process flow by the sensations.

26

Controlled Dream Machine Robotic Audio Visual sculpture 2007

Controlled Dream Machine is an installation that creates an unconscious state of dreaming for a machine; a dreaming robot leg suspended from the ceiling where its dreams are expressed by animations projected in a layer in front of the legs.

The legs are simulating the physical body of a person dreaming - the state of consciousness, while the animations are the unconscious mind in form of a dream. The legs are constantly generating symptoms from the dreams, which are depending on what unconscious area the legs are in that moment. It dreams of Sensations, Memories, Collective Unconscious, Traumas and Nightmares.

3. IMMATERIAL SCULPTURES This section shows sculptures that are searching for a chemistry between organic materials and digital light.

They are plastic and poetic works.

Onirical Fluctuations Immaterial Sculpture 2013

Onirical Fluctuations collects and transforms people’s dreams into digital material presented inside several ephemeral interfaces developed specifically for this project. The project aims at creating an onirical atmosphere where the collected dream narrations will be translated and presented to the audience by mixing animations, sounds and ephemeral materials.

In this site-specific installation, Anaisa Franco creates a kind of “dream orchestra”, filling the space with animation, sound environment and volatile materials. This dreamy atmosphere plunges the viewer into a parallel reality, mimicking the way our unconscious operates while we sleep. The dream is a language that has its own rules, where time perception is experienced as something elastic, relative and very subjective, leaving the spectator no way to scape.

Supended Reality Immaterial sculpture 2009

Suspended Reality is an immaterial sculpture in form of a circular video installation where occurs the materialization of the image inside a 3 meters high transparent cylinder filled with smoke. Through the sculpture are projected 3 videos and 5 channel audio goes along with it.

The smoke brings a slice of the sky to the ground and the videos projected suspend the reality. Through the chemical moisture between the ray of lights and the smoke generates a mutation in the space where I am analyzing the position of humans in society and the search of the unattainable ideals.

The piece investigates projections on immaterial, translucent and impalpable sculptures creating a hybrid language between the physical and the virtual.

Floating Land sculpture 2010

“Floating land� is a sculpture that draws with the light in high velocity using a mechanical apparatus. The animations are suspended and floating in a circular shape.

The technology was developed by a Taiwanese company called Opti-Vision Co, Ltd. The project uses 2 balls, one is bigger and has 94 RGB colour LEDS and the other is smaller with 73 LEDS, both in high velocity.

The small ball shows only a girl running and flying, while the big ball shows the world of that personage.

The project was developed during a residence at Taipei Artist Village in Taipei, Taiwan. It was supported by Sacatar Foundation in Brazil http://www.artistvillage.org/ http://www.sacatar.org/
