VENICE BIENNIAL 2011 AR Intervention
I was the main curator and organizer of the Manifest.AR uninvited AR intervention at the 2011 Venice Biennial. We placed AR artworks in the closed curatorial space of the Giardini, and also as public artworks in Piazza San Marco.
I showed a new work on censored artists, "Shades of Absence," as my artistic contribution to the intervention. It deals with artists facing censorship - including a memorial
to Christoph Schlingensief in the German Pavilion, winner of the 2011 Golden Lion Award for best national pavilion.

The "Carnation Revolution" marked the end of dictatorship and the beginning of democracy in Portugal. To commemorate this event I created an animated rain of carnation flowers in Largo do Carmo (Carmo Square), where the revolution began.
