interactive TV tower installation for the release of @tatemcrae 's new album "So Close to What" . the listening party was held in the @thelxstudio in the past 20th of February, a @sonymusicpt production. CRT & Set Design : @opaaco_ , @guy.taborda Tech Support & Electronics : @casulodiy_ , @capsu.lab 📸 : @ritamoura__

here's a few shots from the installation i did in @rumu_______ for the last "dia de muertos" on 1st of november 2024. the installation was composed by 7 portable camping crt tv's from different eras connected to two different mediaplayers looping the content created by @mariedegryse . unfortunately there's no more photos of the the full installation due to some heavy data last on my old device. I have planned to build a fixed installation for this cozy space in a near future but for now this was the only pop up we did. thanks to @mariedegryse / @bia_pinheiro_ for inviting me.

For the next episode, I invited a hidden gem from the Portuguese scene - selv ikei - delivering an hour of live-recorded ambient straight from the studio. A seamless, reflective journey, carefully woven for deep listening. Airing tomorrow 5pm Tbilisi time, 1pm Lisbon time on @mutantradiotbilisi pic by @opaaco_

New 4.5" camping television fixed and modded for @opaaco_ next fixed installation later this year. New patterns and shapes can de formed by messing around with the axis orientation of the deflection coil.

We did it! Finally Subwise has found a home and a dedicated team to help it grow and reach the vision set from the start. A huge thanks to everyone for the support, feedback, and the positive energy shared during the party! Next month, the same team, venue, and sound system are coming back with a fresh concept called Headroom... Stay tuned! Muito obrigado e amor a todos! 💚❇️💚 🎥 : @lillywinter._

📺 A fixture in the local sound system scene with Subwise, @opaaco_ embraces a chaotic blend of glitch and analog nostalgia. His work, from installations to live performances, is fueled by the aesthetics of distortion. Known for his DIY-laden setup—featuring microscopes, retro projectors, and outdated cameras — @opaaco_ crafts hybrid collages that turn the past into a future vision. His work unites flawed and unrealized ideas, creating a pulsing, retro-futuristic style that transports us to another era while breaking new ground 🪐 2 days to go! Grab your ticket before it’s too late. Tixs links in bio 🎫 15.11 - 23:00-06:00 - Those Who Dance, Marvila, Lisbon.
