Bartira’s interdisciplinary practice is centred around the use of digital media—artificial intelligence, auto-tune, sensors, speculative scenarios—which she combines into what she calls “Black intel”, the entire legacy of her Bahian and North Brazilian roots, to place it all in perspective in the context of digital cultures.

Making use of a journal where she records her dreams, she delivers performances that are a cross between crudeness and delicacy, noise and vocalisation, as well as layers and layers of pre-recorded sounds of everyday life, organic materials and processed manufactured objects that create texture and ambiences in which to imagine speculative scenarios. In her work, Bartira denounces the implications of late capitalism, such as the ubiquitous presence of technology, the ecological collapse, global standardisation and immigration.
Bartira is an electronic music producer, artist, teacher of art and design, and researcher of technopolitics. Ecompassing installation, performances, workshops and participatory art, her work has been shown at venues like the Mucem (Museum of Civilisations of Europe and the Mediterranean) in Marseille and Documenta 15 in Kassel. With roots in diy noise and experimental electronic music, her musical configuration frequently changes in her constant search for sounds, sonorities and timbres, blurring the boundaries between sound art and music.
