I’m an artist, independent curator, teacher and education mediator focused in critical anarchives as methodological approaches in crossings between art practice, the curatorial and education. My work deals with painting in a broad sense, and its relation to the archive. This can constitute films, objects, photography or installation, engaging legacies of modernist art. I’ve been exploring the concept of constellation to develop creative strategies in the fields of practice-based artistic research, the curatorial as a research[1]driven collaborative practice and informal methodologies for an inclusive education. I got a PhD in Media Arts from ULHT, with a dissertation about the Archive and Contemporary Art. I recently curated the exhibitions Constellations I/II (CCB, MCB, Lisbon, 2019), Constellations III (CCB, MCB, Lisbon, 2020), In the Cohorte of De Chirico (Arts College, Coimbra, 2021). I work as an invited artist and education curator in institutions such as MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, CCB/Berardo Collection Museum, Lisbon City Hall – Municipal Direction of Culture and EGEAC, developing different social intervention projects and also formation courses. I´m Adjunct Professor at Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, ULHT, in the Design and Applied Comunication courses, teaching Art History, Contemporary Art and Media Theory.

One day, João Bertrand realised that he could manipulate LED lights through code. He spent the rest of the week looking at everything that had LEDs, and wondering if it would be interesting if those lights changed their color. He came to the conclusion that yes, sometimes just for the fun of it, sometimes with a deeper meaning. When he came upon the incredible world of programmable electronics (using Arduino microcontrollers) the limits of the screen were finally broken, and a transition from Digital Realms to Physical Space finally took place. Based on his practice as an independent game developer, in each work there is an attempt to reduce an idea to its core, to find meaningful interaction and to create apparent complexity through simple systems.
