Desluz (2009)
Insects use the light of the moon and stars as a marker of location, keeping in constant angle to get to and from their breeding places. With artificial light of our electric lights, insects start to become confused, trying to get close to light sources, flying in circles, forming clouds, attracted by light in endless loops. The light that attracts them is infrared, a wavelength the human eye is not able to see, yet it is a potent sexual attractor of moths. Thus, electromagnetic frequencies are covertly perceived through the ages under the moonlight or electric light, perpetuating the survival of species.
Desluz is about the discovery of the invisible, our provisional places, our flows and grids, layers that subtly overlap one another, lure us not letting us see them, betray our hidden, yet so apparent, senses, and bring to light our desires in endless pursuit of following the stars.

Desluz is a non-light, as an intense desire that burns but does not light; it is felt but not seen. The light will only be visible through mobile cameras that mode around the LED transparent cube, in a stripping operation than the eye cannot see.
The movement of the flow of passers-by in the red-light area is captured by a camera located on top of a building, recording a top view of the area, a network, a mesh, which scans an area and a flow of passers-by. The information gained will feed the system installed in the exhibition. This system consists of a cube of LEDs that emit infrared light, an Arduino board, which will be responsible for the relationship between analog and digital data, and two computers that will process and will handle all data (input and output). Thus, the data sent by the remote camera will be turning on and off the lights of the exhibition cube, generating movements and flows.
This process will be dynamic, simultaneous, and will occur in real time. Meanwhile, nothing is seen or heard at the exhibition space, but the body perceives these other frequencies. The lights apparently remain transparent and dull, and the speakers emit sounds not audible to humans.
The work was presented at Galeria Espaço Piloto 16 on 09/30, # 8.ARTE, UnB, Brasilia and a new version was displayed at Galeria Luciana Brito, in São Paulo, at the exhibition Galeria Expandida, curated by Christine Mello, from April 5 to 20, 2010. The work was also part of the individual exhibition Alameda Circuit, held at the Alameda Art Laboratory, Mexico from June 5 to August 5, 2018.
