COORDINATORS
MARGINALIA PROJECT is a duo for creation and experimentation in art and technology that seeks to create works that approach technology in unconventional ways, bringing its uses to an aesthetic – often critical, always ludic – perspective. The group develops interactive audiovisual installations since 2008, and has been awarded with the first prize of Festival Conexões Tecnológicas, of Sérgio Motta Institute, with the prototype Marginalia 1.0 Beta. Formed by André Mintz and Pedro Veneroso, the duo has also collaborated in the development of installations of other groups and artists, in Brazil and abroad, programming interaction systems with Processing and openFrameworks.
