31st Bienal, Fundação Bienal de São Paulo

How can we share stories about contemporary art with a larger audience?

The São Paulo Bienal is one of the most popular exhibitions in South America.

I produced and directed interview-based audio guides in Portuguese and English, with a few tracks in Spanish. I made the suggestion to bring on a variety of voices: the 7 guest curators of this edition, some artists and staff from the Bienal Foundation including young educators. According to the Bienal team, it was the most creative audio guide they’ve ever had. Stats showed a strong increase in the number of listeners when compared with previous editions.

Mobile app, X Bienal de Arquitetura de São Paulo

Can a mobile app improve the visitor experience for an architecture biennale taking place in several locations spread across a megalopolis of 20 million people?

We produced all original content, in audio and video. After testing several app frameworks (the open-source TAP, smArtapps), we used Tristan Interactive’s Autour platform (now Acoustiguide Mobile).

Casa Brasil, Rio 2016, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo & London

Is it possible to leverage on digital content production and distribute stories in different formats, on several platforms?

To promote Brazilian culture and Rio de Janeiro as the next Olympic destination, the Brazilian government set up Casa Brasil at Somerset House during London 2012. Three exhibitions were organized: about Brazil today; about contemporary Brazilian art and design; and about Rio 2016.

We recorded 14 interviews with artists in their studio, in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, in audio and video, that ended up on a free audio guide and as promotional videos. We traveled to London a week before the start of London 2012 to shoot a making-of. I produced the audio guide content for the three exhibitions, in Portuguese and English. Devices were made available on site.

Pompidou multimedia guide, Paris

I produced a collections tour and an architecture tour in 4 languages, an audio description tour for the visually impaired, a kids tour, and many temporary exhibition tours. I designed and built the tours in the proprietary CMS. It was published as a Flash application on PDAs running Windows CE.

One of my highlights on this project was recording a podcast series with teenagers. Very spontaneous, very inspiring. Every opinion counts!
