A collective obituary to Abraham Palatnik (1928–2020)

Abraham Palatnik, legendary pioneer of kinetic art, proclaimed in his Folha de Sao Paulo 1986 interview that "Artists researching new media are the ones that can bring us into contact with the unexpected, giving life to what we call creativity".
