Instalação e Arte Interativa
Curta-Metragem
The origin, the first energy, the beginning of everything and everyone. Our DNA, which can be observed through the lens of a microscope, just like in the legacy of the native peoples. The GENESIS+ installation brings a powerful magnifying glass into the heart of the Brazilian forest, where indigenous communities perpetuate their wisdom that extends through generations and remains in our DNA. GENESIS+ is an immersion into the intimate connection with the earth, the intuitive understanding of the delicate ecosystem and the ancestral rituals that celebrate the harmony between humans and nature. Their culture serves as a guiding force that can drive human improvement. From the past to the future. In the GENESIS+ installation, the public is invited to manipulate a modified microscope and explore the encounter of three elements of our evolution: culture, biology and innovation.
