Malu (b. 1998, Rio de Janeiro) is a performance artist and creative technologies. She holds a degree in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins and recently graduated a MFA Computational Arts at Goldsmiths University. Her artistic practice revolves around performance, sculpture, installation, and the exploration of haptic technologies and interactive music. At the heart of Malu’s artistic vision is an intuitive mode of worldbuilding, she crafts virtual realities and brings them to life theatrically. Throughout her MFA, Malu has developed an experimental computational performance practice and theory fiction research project around the character “Sally,” an un-alienated haptic avatar. Sally practices the theurgy of cyber-alchemy in performances she names “Rites of Integration’. She has participated in multiple exhibitions and performed in many events in the London emerging artist scene, including exhibitions at Rio Cinema, Crypt Gallery and The Ugly Duck. And has created a series of sonic interactive sculptures like her magic technologies and wearable exo-hearts.
