Rui Soares Costa (Lisboa, 1981). In his academic and professional track, crosses art and science. Studied Painting at Ar.Co while training and researching in Social Psychology, later pursuing a PhD and a Postdoc between Portugal and the US. His research wondered about the cognitive processes involved in personal memory and the importance of temporal order in the way people make sense of others. His current research and practice revolve around the perception and representation of time by manipulating its suspension, distension, and compression. Brings to his practice knowledge, tools, methods, and mechanisms from various disciplines, fields, and domains. He combines them with influences from literature, cinema, and contemporary music, his projects always have original soundtracks.
