Designer, set designer and artist. Her focus is the convergence between computing and materiality. She works at the intersection of art, science and technology, searching by means of parametric design and digital manufacturing to integrate computational fluidity into the development of products and environments. With degrees in Design (ESDI / UERJ) and Scenography (UNI-RIO), she received her master's degree in Media Technology Leiden University in the Netherlands, and is currently a PhD student at the NEXT (PUC Rio) laboratory. She has worked at companies such as YDreams Brasil, Mediamatic (Amsterdam) and ART + - COM (Berlin) and in research centers, including Hyperbody / TUDelft and Visgraf / IMPA. She has presented papers at international conferences in this field, such as SIGGRAPH, CAe, CHI Sparks and TEI. At the 2005 Microsoft Research Faculty Summit  she received the Most Creative Design Award for the project "Saudade" and Honorable Mention at the Red Dot Design Award 2015 for   "Mater".

Turning Off the Lights

O Apagar das Luzes

In this piece we see government investment in science and technology over the last 18 years, taken from data available on the official website of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications, and used to generate a parametric light sculpture. The projection of luminosity in the space - and its reduction – provokes  reflection on the future impact of current investments in research and education.
