Paradas em Movimento [Moving Stops] and Paradas Sonoras [Sound Stops]

Paradas em Movimento [Moving Stops]

Aiming to create a decentralized platform for the exhibition of audiovisual works, ten points of multimedia exhibition were installed strategically in places of great public abundance. Each one of these points is composed by a 32'' LCD monitor, a sound dome (directed sound emission equipment) and a support to place the viewer. This furniture includes, also, a display to shelter the informative graphic material related to each exhibition.

On these supports, audiovisual works related to the various culture areas will be displayed contemplated by the Centro Cultural São Paulo programming: arts, cinema, dance, literature, music and theater. The Centro Cultural receives each day around 2 thousand visitors, being the majority of them users of the libraries or visitors checking events of a specific area of concert rooms or exhibitions spaces programming. Many of the times, these users do not have the opportunity to see the totality of the programming offered by the institution. When creating a decentralized and independent platform of the places essentially for exhibition, an essential approximation among the public, the discussions and the contemporary cultural productions is encouraged.

The project Paradas em Movimento [Moving Stops] is a way to take to the passage places of Centro Cultural an excellency programming in contemporary works that address present relevance contents using audiovisual support: cinema, documentary, musical video clips, video art, video dance, etc.

These points are divided in four stations with different furniture and equipment shapes, each for a specific need: Research station, LP audition, double audition and collective audition.

It is important to stress that only one part of the Discotheque collection is digitalized. Of a total of 70 thousand disks, around 35 thousand phonograms have already been computerized and, besides being part of the digital collection that will be gradually inserted in the Paradas Sonoras [Sound Stops], they will contribute to the original material conservation, mainly the rare works.
