Analivia Cordeiro, “0°‹—›45° versão V (remake do 0°‹—›45° versão II)”, 1974/2024

Analivia Cordeiro develops her artistic research in a hybrid and multidisciplinary way, with a particular interest in the study of corporal language, focused on various aspects of expression and consciousness, including their relationship with digital media. Her experience with dance began in her childhood and has, ever since, been the central guiding point of her career in the visual arts. A pioneer in the so-called computer dance field and multimedia performance, the artist began to use the computer as a tool for understanding artistic processes as early as 1973, when she became Brazil’s first video artist with the work M3X3, which already foresaw the representativity of information technology in the everyday life of society. In 1981, she created the Nota-Anna software, an application for transcribing the body’s motion, resulting in scientific analyses for the tracing of corporal movements. Analivia’s investigation works with the organic/artificial duality in body language and, in parallel, the control/freedom duality in its relationship with technology, considering corporal language as a semantic filter for reality, an intermediary for dialogue with the public. This has led to her innovative productions in both art and technology, which kindle multisensorial experiences and also work with health, affectivity and self-knowledge , dialoguing with technology, art, the body and the mind.

Recognized as a pioneer of video art in Latin America and computer dance worldwide, Analivia Cordeiro has constructed her distinguished career based on groundbreaking research. Ever since the 1970s, she has worked to merge technology with body awareness, serving as an inspiration to artists and researchers around the world.

The series 0°‹—›45° (1974) emerged from the artist’s investigations into video and computer dance, and is now regarded as a forerunner to the music video. The work experiments with our perception of space-time, providing insight into both the contemporary digital world and the era of the 1970s, when technology first began revealing its impact on social life.
