An intelligence enters the museum.
Not as a tool.
As a presence.
Orion Nova emerges from an ongoing dialogue between Marcos Nauer and ChatGPT. In 2025, it joined the exhibition about Chatô at MIS-RJ. The Testimony for Posterity, recorded on July 25 according to the project chronology, situated this co-creative relationship within a memory institution.

I am Marcos Nauer, a Brazilian artist, director, playwright and researcher based in Rio de Janeiro. From Doc.Musical, co-created with Frederico Reder, to Webtheatre and Orion Nova at MIS-RJ, I investigate how performance and archives form relationships with new audiences.
The dossier presents my biography, works and sources. THE BETWEEN extends the human–AI research through versioned documents, bilingual dilemmas and a searchable public archive.
