Estudio Guto Requena (São Paulo, SP) reflects on memory, culture, and narrative poetics in different design scales, such as objects, spaces, and cities. The studio is divided into four project nuclei: Architecture Nucleus, where they create interiors, scenographies, and buildings; Product Nucleus, where they design objects and furniture; Communication and Media Nucleus, developing programs for TV and the web, consultations, books, lectures, and events; and finally, the Juntxs Nucleus – Laboratory for Empathy, Design, and Technology Studies, where they conceive immersive installations and interactive experiences. What connects all the projects of Estudio Guto Requena is their desire to investigate design and digital technologies in an emotional way to stimulate empathy and collectivity. Their great passion lies in hybridizing the analog with the virtual.

Created by artists Danilo Barros and Priscilla Cesarino (both born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1980 and 1979, respectively), the Modular Dreams studio explores art in an expanded and immersive way. Its main elements of language are movement and light, always tied together by conceptual and aesthetic coherence. Its vision and intent are increasingly focused on blurring the boundaries between art and life through their actions and creations. With this mission, and grounded in visual art, their works take on various forms such as music videos, mapped projections, interactive LED art scenography, audiovisual performances, site-specific installations, and printed art in various sizes and formats. Modular Dreams is among the most relevant and active artists in São Paulo’s electronic cultural scene, helping shape and conceptualize it since its early revolutions in the capital. They are particularly known for their residency at the Capslock party, numerous interventions at ODD, and significant participation in the Dutch festival DGTL (where they were responsible for an entire stage and performed for over 10,000 people, receiving an excellent response from the audience and festival organizers). The studio also stands out for having undertaken numerous projects for important brands such as Natura, Rock in Rio, Netflix, Santander, Itaú Cultural, Museu da Imigração, Pixel Show, Red Bull, TNT, Casa de Criadores, T-Jamas, Santista Têxtil, O2 Produções, Agência Bullet, and many others.

Anaisa Franco (Uberlândia, MG, Brazil, 1981) creates affective sculptural works to activate the body and public space through a playful and interactive approach.

Her pieces reflect the round and curved forms found at molecular and macro levels, connecting and reshaping the way we see the world. Franco holds a master’s degree in advanced architecture from IAAC, Barcelona, Spain, a year of M-Arch 1 at SCI-Arc, Los Angeles, USA, as well as a master’s degree in digital art and technology from the University of Plymouth, England, and a bachelor’s degree in visual arts from FAAP, São Paulo.
