Abstract:
This artist talk showcases the Pandemic Trilogy, a series of 3 Application Poems (PoemApps) made during and dialoguing with pandemic times. These artworks, created from 2020 to 2022 by the Laboratório de Poéticas Fronteiriças team, are digital art mobile applications with game dynamics. Their goal is to react to reality as the Sars-COV-2 virus transformed it and aesthetically discuss, in different ways and with a different focus in each artwork, possible dialogue inserted in the field of digital arts. They are Covid-19 (2020), an augmented reality PoemApp that dialogues with the emergence of the virus; Lave as mãos (2020), an application that focuses on preventing the disease; and Vacina estética (2022), a virtual reality PoemAPP that utilises the vaccination/immunological protection as a poetic element.
