QR Code is a multimedia performance installation that explores the creative potential of Quick Response codes. The graphical display of these two-dimensional barcodes, in conjunction with other artistic languages, is used to investigate Marshall McLuhan’s concept of ‘Media as Extensions’, which sees communication media as extensions of the human faculties. The installation space becomes a site where global reality is brought into the here and now and can be manipulated.

TERCEIRA PESSOA

Terceira Pessoa is a structure that develops artistic projects, with a special focus on performing arts and disciplinary crossings. In his projects, TP privileges a multidisciplinary approach, integrating professionals from diverse artistic languages. TP work develops around art as a science of experience and experimentation, based on a constant dialogue and exchange between audiences and artists. Terceira Pessoa is also a place yet to come.
