The master's thesis »Saravá« by Brazilian media artist Pedro Rodolpho Ramos will be shown in the programme of one of the most important documentary film festivals, the IDFA, in Amsterdam. Likewise, the film was selected as one of ten productions for the IDFA DocLab Spotlight, a special category for interactive and immersive highlights and fulldome films.
Saravá (2021) is a site-adaptive audiovisual composition about how empathic gestures can rise from cultural syncretism.
The composition has language as an object of artistic research and integrates sound and visual arts at its core. It is inspired by the transformation of language through migration and multiculturalism. At the same time, it explores the meaning of comprehension through psychoanalytic and linguistic theories.
The electroacoustic composition has the voice, spoken word, and field recordings as its main sound objects. Its correspondent visual music composition is created with algorithmic digital arts. The audiovisual piece is suited for FullDome and audiovisual installation environments.
