NARRATIVE
[ PROLOGUE ]
THE ARTIST, THE POET, THE WRITER, THOSE WHO QUESTION:
ALL ARE HUNTERS OF SIMULACRA, TIRELESS CALCULATORS OF IMPROBABILITIES.
DOVES OR VULTURES, FRAGILE CANARIES, OR HIDDEN BLACKBIRDS, THEY RASP, RIP, REND, ALWAYS GNAWING THEIR OWN CLAWS.
THE INVISIBLE WITHIN THEM THEN EMERGES.
O ARTISTA, O POETA, O ESCRITOR, OS QUE PERGUNTAM:
TODOS SÃO CAÇADORES DE SIMULACROS, INCANSÁVEIS CALCULADORES DE IMPROBABILIDADES.
POMBAS OU ABUTRES, FRÁGEIS CANÁRIOS OU ESCONDIDOS MELROS, RASPAM, RASGAM, ROMPEM, SEMPRE ROENDO AS SUAS PRÓPRIAS GARRAS.
O INVISÍVEL QUE HÁ NELES ENTÃO EMERGE.
— Ana Hatherly
[ TRAJECTORY ]
Between the (In)visible I am interested, above all, in what resists immediate explanation: how forms, words, and numbers elude capture.
A decade researching the intersections of literature and visual arts. Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD at the University of Porto. My thesis examined photography and literature as forms of resistance to Horror. I collaborated with ILCML's Intermedialities Group and began editing SKHEMA, an interarts magazine.
Closing one chapter to open another. Currently completing a BSc in AI & Data Science. Researcher at INESC TEC's NLP Group, analyzing political discourse on TikTok. The tools may change, but the question persists: how do we resist, how do we detect the constructed nature of what presents itself as real?
I cultivate a porous intelligence: one that observes before concluding, distrusts before accepting. One that listens. I work through the senses, aware they may deceive, yet trusting they provide a necessary intuition to unfold. This space is an archive in the making. A fold between languages. A place where thought is rehearsed.
