Marcia Vaitsman graduated in Media Studies at the University of São Paulo (ECA/USP) and post graduated at the Academy of Media Arts of Cologne (KHM), Germany. From 1992 until 1995 several study visits to the University of Vienna (German and Media Institutes). 1999 to 2002 she worked as tutor for the multimedia and performance atelier of Valie EXPORT and for the Department of Media Design both at KHM. Marcia lived in Alaska 1989-90. 2004 Marcia went to the Institute of Advance Media Art and Science with a granted residence and 2006 to HIAP/Cable Factory with a granted residence from UNESCO/Aschberg.

During the project Expedição Francisco, she will install 3 spheric balloons which will be floating on the air from a boat navegating the São Francisco river. Each one has 4m diameter and color white. 3 lighting fonts from the boat will light the spheres from its botton part. Some new moons in
São Francisco river.

This is a symbolic transposition of the water of the river. The „up-load „ of these artificial moons, we can imagine the attraction of material and the displacement of water in the vertical, as the tide phenomena.

This intervention will be documented in video from different points of view, specially from the underwater view. Everyday this action will be documented on the web, as a moon calender of the river trip.
