OccupationsPoet and visual artist

Augusto de Campos (born 14 February 1931) is a Brazilian writer, translator, music critic, and visual artist[1][2] who, with his brother Haroldo de Campos,[3] established the Concrete poetry movement in Brazil.

Work

In 1952, Campos founded the literary magazine Noigandres with his brother.[4] In 1956, he and his associates declared the beginning of a literary movement. Since then, he has published many collections and received several honors.[5]

From the 1950s through the 1970s, his main works focused on visual poetry. From 1980, he intensified his experiments with new media, presenting poems via electric billboards, videotext, neon, holograms, lasers, computer graphics, and multimedia events that integrated sound and music. He explored a plurivocal reading of CIDADECITYCITÉ with his son Cid Campos (1987–1991).[6]

Four of his holographic poems, created in collaboration with the holographer Moysés Baumstein,[7] were featured in the exhibitions TRILUZ (1986) and IDEHOLOGIA (1987). A "videoclippoem", O PULSAR,[8] with music by Caetano Veloso, was produced in 1984 at an Intergraph high-resolution computer station. BOMB POEM and SOS, with music by Cid Campos, were animated on a Silicon Graphics computer station of the University of São Paulo (1992–1993).[9]

His collaboration with Cid, which began in 1987, resulted in POESIA É RISCO (Poetry is Risk), a CD launched by PolyGram in 1995.[10] The recording was developed into a multimedia performance under the same title, a "verbivocovisual" poetry/music/image show with video editing by Walter Silveira,[11] and was presented in several cities in Brazil and abroad. An installation also assembled his digital poetic animations.[12]

An exhibition dedicated to his digital art, TransCreation, was held from August 2 to October 29, 2021, at The NEXT Museum, Library, and Preservation Space.[13]
