Hack Expo
For HackTudo 2020, artist Jota Azevedo created unpublished pieces especially with electronic waste from computers, mouses, keyboards, Floppy, wires, chips, among other. The exhibition “The Power of Innovation” features reproductions of the faces of personalities like Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Nicola Tesla and Alan Turing made with these recyclable materials.
The estimate that approximately 55 millions of tons of electronic waste are discarded every year in the world, it has become a life purpose for the artist who reuses discarded waste as raw material to produce art.
Since I was a kid, I liked to assemble new toys with objects brought from the trash of the building where my father worked. Eventually, I improved my skills and started to produce pieces that were recognized as works of art. Soon, then, pointed out my work as socio-environmental, which made me have a broader view to develop people's awareness of waste disposal ”, account Jota Azevedo.
In addition, the exhibition will have a space called “Expo-Robot” where the sculptures can be viewed in 360º. The complete exhibition can be accompanied by the public through a virtual tour, between days 16 to 25 October, on the event's official website (www.hacktudo.com.br).
