VR experience comes to MAS / SP

Experiences in contrasting axes comprise exposure resignifies belonging opposite complementary

Museu de Arte Sacra de São Paulo – BUT/SP, institution of the Department of Culture and Economy of the State of São Paulo Creative, a follow up to the anniversary celebrations of her Golden Jubilee to be completed in June 2020, displays the news photos “Fora do Temp(l)O" curated by Bianca Boeckel. set in Room MAS / Metro Tiradentes, the partnership between the curator and the museum near the audience of over a new art form that unites creation with technology.

In the exhibition space niches are exposed 13 Photographs of two series of contrasting imagery records: a series of image ‘Liquenscape’, carioca photographer Nelson Porto, and a cut of the series 'Call Block', with selected images together with Francisco Almendra, artists Ana Carvalho, José Guilherme Leite, Lucas Fight, Micael Hocherman, Pedro Esteban and Rapha Silva.

While ‘Liquenscape’ highlights the expanded record of Pico immensity Agulhas Negras and the contemplation of the eternal sacred and empty out of time, the collective that depicts the Carnival in “Call the Block " approaches profane - that which is outside the temple - through a dip in ecstasy present in the biggest party of men.

The polarity between the two subjects is given in several axes: natureza vs. man, vs empty. full, off vs time. outside the temple. The resulting dynamic leads to a dialogue between forms and strong meanings – even belonging to different universes.

When inserting the latest technology to create art, It is reserved to the visitor the role of participating in the work. The virtual reality experiences that are part of “Fora do Temp(l)O" open a new exhibition space in three dimensions that creates memories like that of those who lived the scene in real life.

“Fora do Temp(l)O" offers visitors the ecstasy found in the intersection of two sacred experiences: the contemplation of nature, and the dip in the biggest party of men.
