The shocking sounds and visual tensions imposed on the viewer, as if one were witnessing a surgical procedure, serve to exemplify the antagonistic relationship between the two worlds of flesh and money that, ironically, have come together as a priority in contemporary society. In a disparate dialogue, void of humanity, these realities reflect the technological and financial culture of our time.





Roberto Bellini Alves Monteiro was born on July 20th, 1979 in Brazil. He studied design at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, in Brazil, and has participated in several group exhibitions, including Sao Paulo’s Sonar Festival of New Media. He is currently working toward his Master’s Degree at the Transmedia Department of the University of Texas, Austin.
