NOVA cultura contemporânea.
NOVA is an interactive, full-environmental experience utilizing color, light, textures, music and design, in the form of collaborative and integrated compositions by a wide range of artists from around the world. From hand-made illustrations to large scale murals to modern digital art; moving image to multimedia convergence, art made without the limitations or restrictions of traditional format and relying heavily on the magic of live improvisation. During this constantly evolving and mutating exhibition, the creative process is to be witnessed as an ongoing work in progress rife with experimentation, challenging traditional and contemporary techniques and the bending of modern technology.
NOVA is an art festival building a collective artwork by empowering on-stage live production, collaboration and creative cross pollination between art, music and film, happening in very different settings, once every 6 months, featuring 324 artists, musicians and performers.
NOVA premiered in 2o1o in São Paulo, followed with a gallery show edition in Los Angeles. 2o11 was the time for Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo again, for a immersive cinematic edition. 2o12 saw the biggest NOVA, simultaneously in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Barcelona.
