> GEMA is the concept of an open interface focused on the city. Multi-disicplinary and muti-media tools are used to create site-specific art in the public realm.
The viewer/listener is invited to experience the everyday environment in transformation, to contemplate art as exploration of landscape in constant flux.

GEMA é uma interface aberta onde diversas disciplinas podem pensar e agir na cidade e em seus espaços.

"A multiplicidade está precisamente no E, que não tem a mesma natureza dos elementos nem dos conjuntos."

G. Deleuze
