The Installation

Installed in one of the exhibition rooms, it offers a hybrid physical and digital environment – an immersive experience that merges architecture, technology, and art, activated by the presence of visitors and encouraging introspection about the fragile balance between cultural and natural environments. It is an experience that moves between utopia and dystopia, destruction and regeneration – a metaphor for the Anthropocene and the possibilities that still remain.

The installation is the result of a multilayered collective process. Its origin lies in real Portuguese landscapes filmed by video artist Nuno Cera. These recordings form the basis for digital manipulation using AI, carried out by 18—25 Studio. These transformed visuals then inform a soundscape composed by musician Jorge Queijo – where a base also generated by AI is further shaped by human creativity. The final component of the installation is the public and its interaction. There is an interdependence between the presence and movements of visitors and what is seen on screen and heard through sound.
