Leston
Identity, Website
Leston is a musician, artist, and developer based in São Paulo. His work investigates the relationships between sound, image, code, and permanence, exploring the sensitive interval that emerges between systems and perception and creating experiences in which the living is not only what happens in real time, but what transforms before us. In his practice, programming ceases to be merely a tool and becomes a vocabulary—a way of building open structures and constantly changing forms. We began with the idea that every language is also a limit and, in dialogue with his research, developed a visual identity and website that bring the system to the foreground. We started from a simple inversion: bringing the system, which usually operates behind the scenes, to the front. There is an interval in the gap between error, the blue screen, and code. It is within this unstable space, between control and failure, that the project comes to life. The website was developed by SupLab.
An engineer, urban planner, feminist, and key figure in the making of MAM Rio, Carmen Portinho made the act of designing an instrument of social transformation. The exhibition tells her story and brings together works that reveal the breadth of her thinking.
Botton turns small habits into possible paths toward well-being. It is a brand that brings health, affection, and awareness together to care for oneself, for others, and for the planet without resorting to promises of immediate change.
Childhood is not preparation for life; it is life itself unfolding. With this in mind, we worked with Espaço Envolvimento on a careful rebranding process, moving through conceptual and strategic stages and arriving at a visual expression that reflects the school’s new moment.
“I think you should dream the earth, because it has a heart and breathes.” The sentence that opens the book also opens the editorial project, guiding an open visual identity that breathes, welcomes, and warms. Terra Sem Males connects the Guarani myth of a life without suffering with the work of ten artists. Written by João Vergara, the book weaves together art, history, and imagination to ask how we might live better on an imperfect earth.
