This work, CONSTELAR – Cosmic Landscapes, is the result of an artistic approach to cosmic relations as a metaphor, developed in occasion of the "Art, Science, and Technology" course offered by Professors Susana Dias and Paulo Teles at Labjor (University of Campinas). As part of the activities, we investigated our relationship with the cosmos and the stars and asked what we can learn from them.

The approach I seek is one that was once described by Bruno Latour with the term "being affected." To be affected by the world is to create a dynamic knowledge that is not centered on humanity's uniqueness, but instead has great potential to radiate other ways of being. Thinking about the biological, historical, artistic, or scientific aspects of our contemporary world—where technology has an increasingly dominant role in daily life—permeates much of the fictional imagination built by what I call a "ghostly impression" of how technology will transform and guide the future. This impression provokes displacements in our fleeting relationships with both space and time.
