Hello
I’m Lina Lopes

SERVICES

I am a consultant, entrepreneur and artist. In my trajectory you can see the intersection between two worlds: art and technology.

I'm a speaker on innovation, creativity, new materials, technology, wearables and agile processes. I love mentoring bootcamps and experimental processes. For almost 8 years I have been directing LILO.ZONE, a space for the creative use of technology.

Being an enthusiast of experimentation, collaboration and improvisation, I developed LILO.THINK, a methodology focused on immersive processes.

PROMOTE

Direction of experimental process that uses technology

DEVELOP

Training and organizational design for business

DESIGN

Consulting for process and spaces as makerspace or prototyping/innovative lab

PROTOTYPE

Brings ideas to life in the form of physical prototypes as interactive installations and wearables

MANIFEST

Art is recognized as a kind of human expression. In a certain way, Homo Sapiens extended their work around the world by representing what they saw in drawings on the cave walls, choreographing thanks to the rain gods and singing to the earth. At the same time, he developed more efficient systems of housing, health, transport, in short, science and technology.

It seems that in both expressions, the human being demonstrates his vulnerabilities and ways of overcoming them. As if the fear of death, illness, deprivation of food, shelter or love were driving forces for creation, experimentation and innovation in both art and technology.

Thinking about topics like machine learning or artificial intelligence, we are hoping that machines will do more accurate simulations and decision making than what humans can do. The wish is that they can compute our lives and choices better than we can.

However, if human development is to some way linked to its difficulties and insecurities, what would be the insecurity of a machine? Your obsolescence? The fact that your battery can "die"? Would discovering or teaching insecurity to a machine make it more human? Would overcoming human fears by doing science, art and technology make us more machinic?

Many artists in recent years have used machines with statistical algorithms and machine learning to produce poetry. It is already a fact that machines are capable of making poetry, but are they also capable of "feeling" poetry? Or does this concern the human condition?

SKILLS

I am always hooked by challenging, experimental and co-creation processes involving creativity and technology.

My best skill is creating structures and running sprints to make ideas tangible and create systems. For this I can use different tools, from hammers, through laser cutters to design software. But perhaps my best skill is that I always fail with conviction.
