Hybrid Ecologies by Guto Nóbrega

The artist provided training for the Presente Continuo program fellows. The Hybrid Ecologies workshop explored the relationship between plants and artificial systems based on theoretical and practical experience.

On the first day, the morning was devoted to the assembly of a circuit called Plantrônic. It is a shield created by the artist to monitor the galvanic response in plant leaves. The assembly was done on a protoboard, without the use of solders. Then, a Flow workshop on integrative drawing was held with the aim of developing focus and creative unblocking through the practice of drawing as an articulator of ideas. During the second day, the interns worked on the development of a project, carried out tests and presented the first results obtained. The artist and theorist Nóbrega gave feedback to each of the teams and each of the projects was discussed as a group.
