EGOSCÓPIO - Beiguelman, Giselle

The first to be truly post-biologic, post-human, post-everything. Mediate by the planetary nets, negotiated by the teleconnections, pointed by the communication medias, egoscópio is a prototype and a redundancy.
Deals with a being that makes itself by: the brands, products and images that absorbs and recycles ourselves. We don't know their gender, taste and willing.
Results of entropy, congestion and acceleration processes; egoscópio lives in traffic, at the traffic, intercepted by the inputs of the global city that inhabit.
It was seen, for the last time in São Paulo city, entering in a blue car, 8h30 in the morning, Giovanni Gronchi Avenue, in Morumbi, São Paulo.
Walked around for a while and was found, days after, in Amazonas, doing who knows what ... how is egoscópio? what is it's gender? age? tastes? What happened when it disappear? Even Better, is good to know: when does it has


happened? What root took? What did during the way?
A kind of alter-ego of the urban culture of the 21 century, egoscópio, is a being discorporate, made of fragments of publicity, consume and of the reprocessing of what absorbs and digest.
Egoscópio will be revealed trough a combustion and planetary assemble process, centered in the web, and cut out in several electronic panels located in Brazil, where each day will be raised hypothesis about their being and where-about.
Trough the internet will be send messages such as : "egoscópio had unique feet, tremendously particularities ..." send now images of the egoscópio feet for the electronic panels of the giovani gronchi Avenue. "egoscópio could help take that drink " send now to the paulista avenue the egoscópio's drink". The internauts will replay these calls (messages) sending their material or sites links. The images will appear in the panel, disperses in the daily schedule of the publicity announcements, as it if

an a regular announcement, ready to model another fragment of thousands others egoscópios that are in the streets, submitted to the same interaction and passive process of our protagonist.
The collected material can be seen in real time, in the egoscópio site, through webcams, positioned in the panels that receive the fragments of its identity.
The assemble of the result beings of the interactive processes and the links that will make them, will be on line as well.
At the end of the month, egoscópio will appear summarized, in the panels and in the internet.
