In this project, exploring the fluid condition between the virtual and real world, the artist seek to materialize my experiences in digital environments - whether browsing through Google Maps or in the feed of an art museum - generating images as a meeting place between the world of atoms and that of bits*

Rodrigo Etem has been investigating and working surreptitiously on concepts that aim to disseminate questions about our daily experience. Thinking today from a certain geography, in terms of territoriality, is being diluted with new technologies, the ways of communicating, and the imposed distances. Etem's pieces, far from being distant in today's challenge, get fully into the field of everyday life and desires. Crossing an entire continent from the screen, creating films without cameras, collecting all the errors of a virtual representation of the world, and making digital images occupy physical space, are some of the clues that can be found in his latest works.
