Architect, artist and visionary, José Wagner Garcia summarizes 20 years of his artwork in the present catalogue. Garcia works with a variety of materials - from holography to radars - and numerous areas of knowledge and science, such as geomorphology, astrophysics and optics. This fine edition organized by Professor Lucia Santaella, Coordinator of postgraduate studies in Intelligence Technologies and Digital Design from PUC-SP, addressed Garcia's work through the critical texts of diverse experts from fields related to his heterogeneous production that spans from mega satellites to ecological systems. Authors who participated in this edition include artist film critic Arlindo Machado, philosopher Nelson Brissac, artists Julio Plaza and Priscila Arantes, and curator and astrophysicist Jorge de Albuquerque Vieira. "What seems to interest Wagner Garcia in his projects is not only the idea of creating or extracting aesthetic possibilities from biological supports or living systems, but to create new ontological and epistemological paradigms for the world that surrounds him."
