This research-based project departs from comparisons between different manifestations of a mathematical object: the Moebius Strip. The functional migrations of this form through cultural discourses, places and historical narratives are merged in situations where aesthetics, economics and politics are always implicated. In the project, it is explored the relationships between processes of translation, migration and reception generated by the instrumentalization this form: starting from its materialization in the visual arts, and moving towards their use in productive and communicative spheres such as design, corporate identity and architectural language. The developments of this research in progress include: archival research, video projection, sculpture and graphic works.
