Nebulosas no espaço sideral e criaturas bioluminescentes das profundezas marinhas são observadas em contraste com a mais densa e misteriosa escuridão, onde esses corpos vagam. A luz emitida demarca seus territórios onde ocorrem reações que fascinam nossa imaginação e instigam a pesquisa científica. Meu interesse em fenômenos nos quais a luz se manifesta de maneira singular – da bioluminescência de organismos marinhos às “nebulosas-bicho” – se traduz em "nebula". Na instalação elaborada para o Planetário Municipal do Carmo, apresentamos três objetos lumínicos responsivos inspirados nas nebulosas Borboleta, Caranguejo e Raia, modelados a mão em filamento transparente. Na cúpula podiam ser ativados por sensores de gestos e através de suas fontes de luz emitir, em resposta às ações dos visitantes, combinações com intensidades, matizes e ritmos variados. As rotinas luminosas programadas remetem aos processos científico-poéticos de colorização de imagens capturadas por grandes telescópios[1].
No hall do planetário, fotografias e desenhos que remetem à corpos celestes e/ou organismos microscópicos, produzidas a partir de capturas da luz, refletem sobre esse processo criativo. Um vídeo com as etapas e referências pesquisadas era exibido durante o acesso às obras responsivas. Colaboramos ainda com a equipe do planetário na criação de uma sessão especial – "nebulosas" exibida durante a mostra – que se tornará parte da programação do espaço. Como atividades complementares, realizamos um bate-papo com os artistas na abertura e participamos das visitas guiadas do planetário, nos meses de maio, junho e julho/22. O desenvolvimento do projeto nebula, desde a sua concepção, produção, criação de suportes expositivos e divulgação foram doados ao espaço e à comunidade do entorno pela artista e seu colaborador. A mostra foi inteiramente financiada com a Bolsa CAPES/CNPq.

Nebulae in outer space and bioluminescent creatures from the sea depths are seen in contrast to the denser and more mysterious darkness where these bodies roam. The emitted light demarcates its territories where reactions occur that fascinate our imagination and instigate scientific research. My interest in phenomena in which light manifests itself in a unique way – from the bioluminescence of marine organisms to “animal nebulae” – translates into “nebula”. In the installation created for the Carmo Municipal Planetarium, we present three responsive luminous objects inspired by the Borboleta, Caranguejo and Raia nebulae, hand-modeled in transparent filament. In the dome, they could be activated by gesture sensors and, through their light sources, emit, in response to the visitors' actions, combinations with varying intensities, hues and rhythms. The programmed lighting routines refer to the scientific-poetic processes of colorizing images captured by large telescopes. In the planetarium hall, photographs and drawings that refer to celestial bodies and/or microscopic organisms, produced from light captures, reflect on this creative process. A video with the steps and references searched was shown when accessing the responsive works. We also collaborated with the planetarium team to create a special section – “nebulae” shown during the show – that will become part of the space program. As complementary activities, we held a chat with the artists at the opening and participated in guided tours of the planetarium, in the months of May, June and July/22. The development of the nebula project, from its conception, production, creation of exhibition supports and dissemination, were donated to the space and the surrounding community by the artist and her collaborator. The show was entirely financed with the CAPES/CNPq Scholarship.
