Musa paradisiaca: Masters of Velocity, 2017
Musa paradisiaca is a dialogue-based artistic project by Eduardo Guerra (b. 1986, Portugal) and Miguel Ferrão (b. 1986, Portugal). Masters of Velocity examines relations between thoughts and actions through notions of desire, probability, and velocity. Inside a pilot’s head one wonders about how different things desire each other mutually: “The pilot wishes to become plane, the plane wishes to become ground.”
