ABSTRACT
Inspired by Einstein’s special theory of relativity, Sobre a eletrodinâmica dos corpos de trabalho (On the Electrodynamics of Working Bodies) is a stereophonic, fixed-media video artwork presenting a temporally and spatially distorted perspective on a factory set in natural surroundings. It portrays the work of the facility as it echoes off the landscape in compressed time, frozen time, and smeared timelines by modeling sonic mirrors moving at relativistic speeds. It is a reflection on the efforts of man-made forces, the persistence of natural forces over time, and the interfaces between them.
