︎Os objetos e materiais presentes nas fotografias, vídeos, instalações e áudios da exposição The Best of Mr.Chao apresentam fragmentos do mundo real e criações imaginadas, em que ambos apontam para um espaço de coexistência.
Por meio de estruturas, elementos e intervenções que remontam a um Data Center, ou seja, o espaço onde servidores de computação são armazenados, encontramos um ambiente bizarro e limpo, frio e estranho, cientificamente desorganizado e desumanizado, que busca criar uma fricção em nossas ideias pré-estabelecidas de futuro, por meio de um recorte abrangente e multidisciplinar sobre inteligência coletiva de insetos, fenômenos naturais e conceitos tecnológicos.

Through structures, elements, and interventions that remember us of a Data Center, that is, the space where computer servers are stored, we find a bizarre and clean, cold and strange, scientifically disorganized and dehumanized environment that seeks to create a friction in our pre-conceived ideas about the future, through a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to collective insect intelligence, natural phenomena and technological concepts.
