SACADA DA VIRADA / SAO PAULO / MAY 2010
Check out the video and images of the "SACADA DA VIRADA" - last weeks innercity party in the old center of São Paulo.

The Sound coming from the DJ Booth has been splitted into various frequencies which were directly connected to the projections. Graphics and 3D mappings were responding to the sound of the Beat - Bass / Mids / Highs.

The audience could play around with interactive projections on the architecture by using their cellphones - spraypainting temporary SMS Messages in form of PIXAÇOES displayed on a large Scale.

Pixação is a unique form of graffiti native to São Paulo. It consists of tagging done in a distinctive, cryptic style, mainly on walls and vacant buildings. Many pixação artists compete to paint in high and inaccessible places, using such techniques as free climbing and abseiling to reach the locations. Pixação has inspired and formed many Brazilian street artists, such as Os Gemeos.
