Bio
Silvestre Pestana (1949, Funchal) is a transdisciplinary artist. He initiated his artistic practice in the 1960s as a visual poet, but soon established himself as a performer, a pioneer of video art and recently as a cyberspace artist. A staunch anti-war activist, he dedicated many years to public art education.
Pólen R.A. presents the mists of the city of Porto that invoke a dense telluric humidity. The augmented reality installation presented is symbolically generated by the double exercise of fusion between ice and fire, in the extensive cyclically pollinated earthly body.
