Discurso do Artista

This work discusses the formation of art discourses and their multiple agents using the technique of data scraping which performs systematic and automated extraction of online pages. The omnipresence of screens in our daily digital existence and the constant flow of the feeds are addressed through the slow and continuous matrix printer. The noise of the printing process permeates the environment with the constant production of information and the challenges and misunderstandings of communication concerning art.
