2-Channel Interactive Installation for the Exhibition Existência Numérica, Oi Futuro, March-June 2024, as part of the project Amazonia Future Lab.
Jamalui Kuikuro visiting the Exhibition Existência Numérica in 2024.
The Amazonia Future Lab develops new formats and tools to recontextualize Xingu artifacts into narratives that surface their complex interrelationships while adequately representing Indigenous perspectives.
Xingu Entangled is the first visualization case produced by the lab. It underscores the rich interconnectedness of objects, places, events, organisms, and spiritual actors and weaves them into non-linear narratives and data structures. By emphasizing boundary objects over physical artifacts, it bridges disciplinary domains and effectively communicates manifold perspectives. The interactive capacity of the two-channel installation allows visitors to freely explore the graphs and videos, while also offering situated storytelling with voices and perspectives from the Xingu community.
The installation is currently on display in the exhibition Existência Numérica in Rio de Janeiro, curated by Barbara Castro, Doris Kosminsky, and Luiz Ludwig. In its second edition, “Existência Numérica” is being hosted by the cultural center “Futuros - Arte e Tecnologia”, and dwells upon the complexity of data visualization and its applications in the world of visual arts.
