It is the introduction to a new world of artistic possibilities, a sampling of how the addition of technology and art can promote expanded sensations, powerful and, at the same time, super human. I am glad that the Bank of Brazil is making room for a show like this, investing in new formats, and looking at one of the languages most innovative being produced in the art today”, Lia says Vissotto, director of Cinnamon, which organizes the show in CCBBs.
