RedSkyFalls (Réplica) - A seismic transmission network

RedSkyFalls (Réplica) - Uma rede de transmissão sísmica

Exhibition

Saturday 23 May · until 22 Nov

Galeria Zé dos Bois Bairro Alto · Lisbon
All events at this venue 34 Directions

At Galeria Zé dos Bois, Alexandre Estrela presents a Réplica of RedSkyFalls, in which fruit flies act as sentinels responding in real time to nearby and distant seismic activity.

On the occasion of his piece RedSkyFalls, on view at the Portuguese Pavilion in Venice at the Biennale 2026, Alexandre Estrela presents a series of Réplicas. These Réplicas, which function as sentinels, are characterized by alerting to high-risk seismic activity in geographically distant locations. For Galeria Zé dos Bois, a Réplica was conceived in which fruit flies, or sentinels, respond in real time to nearby and distant seismic activity through a pre-digital sensitivity. Under close observation, we can recognize in the behaviour of these artificial sentinels the infra-signals of the subterranean disturbances that, from time to time, erupt in this ecosystem. The sentinel flies, enclosed in appropriate logos of the precursor of the process-poem Wlademir Dias-Pino, wander and react in synchrony to the seismic activity of planet Earth each time it declares a tremor. The network of active Réplicas in partner institutions during the Venice exhibition period includes the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, REDCAT, Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater, the Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI), the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC) at UNAM and Galeria Zé dos Bois.
