//Media and Earth Systems //Media Infrastructures //Planetary Imaginaries
My research agenda explores images and imaginaries of communication infrastructures, with a particular focus on the paradoxes, continuities, and interstices that constitute the relationships between technology and nature, energy systems, and environmental dynamics. In my most recent project, 'Transcoding the Earth Systems: Climate and Weather Models in Digital Games', funded by the NOMIS Foundation, I examine game production infrastructures that simulate Earth's climate and weather through geospatial imagery, 'real-time' meteorological data, and machine vision, focusing on the visual support systems employed to render the planet as an operable technical image and a navigable synthetic environment.
In the project 'Cloud Gaming Atlas: From Earth's Metabolism to the Longing for Radiant Infrastructures', I critically explored the infrastructures developed to support entertainment software services, while mapping interdependencies between digital technologies and the living environment.
I have written on subjects across digital games and ecology, political geography and audiovisual media, scientific knowledge and speculative design. Whenever possible, I try to combine conceptual and empirical analyses with creative interventions, developing intellectual explorations through more flexible forms.
//RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:
NOMIS postdoctoral fellow at eikones, Centre for the Theory and History of the Image at the University of Basel (2025-). Postdoctoral fellow at the Zukunftskolleg, affiliated with the Department of Literature, Art and Media of the University of Konstanz (2022-2024, 2024-2025). Guest researcher at the Chair of Knowledge Cultures and Media Environments at the Institute for Arts and Media at University of Potsdam (2024). PhD in Communication Sciences (Unisinos University, 2020), with a teaching internship in Image and Sound Studies (2018). Visiting doctoral candidate at the Gamification Lab (Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, 2019). MA in Social Communication (PUCRS, 2013), and BA in Visual Arts and Design (UFPel, 2010). I was awarded fellowships, grants, and scholarships from the NOMIS Foundation (2025), Zukunftskolleg (2022), CAPES-DAAD (2019), CNPq (2016), FNDE (2013), and CAPES-PROEX (2011). From time to time, I translate research (EN->PT) in the fields of environmental media studies, digital humanities, image and sound studies, and media archaeology. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I coordinated the interdisciplinary study group Technopolity: Design, Infrastructure, Geopolitics.

//OTHER SKILLS:
*Instructional Design *EN/ES->PT Translation
*Digital Audio Analysis Methods *Sound Design
I have worked for some years outside academia as an instructional designer, developing materials for e-learning platforms and modelling content for research and development programmes. I also provided services in graphic and strategic design, having collaborated with companies in the public and private sectors.
I was also the founder of Polvö (2015-), an experimental music collective that combined sonic performances with audiovisual installations.
