Bio: Sebastião Salgado's professional training is as an economist, receiving his PhD from the Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques in Paris in 1971. He began taking photographs in Africa, to where he was sent in his capacity as economist.

In 1973 he began working as a professional photographer.

HIs first book was Other Americas, covering poverty in Latin America, in 1986.

His second — published the same year — was Man in Panic, covering drought in North Africa.

His third, Rural Workers, was fruit of six years of documentation.

Since then his work has been the documentation of the unjustly downtrodden and lives threatened by the advance of the destructive aspects of civilization. Including the vast Amazon of his native Brazil.

The Matrix uncoils from the Recôncavo of Bahia, final port-of-call for more enslaved human beings than any other such throughout all of human history and from where some of the most physically and spiritually uplifting music ever made evolved...

...all essentially cut off from the world at large. But after 40,000 years of artistic creation by mankind, it's finally now possible to create bridges closely interconnecting all artists everywhere (having begun with the Saturno brothers above).

Curate anybody in here. You appear on their page. Anybody in here curates you, they appear on your page...

...plugged into a superpower: the small world phenomenon.

By the same mathematics positioning some 8 billion human beings within some 6 or so steps of each other, people in the Matrix tend to within close, accessible steps of everybody else inside the Matrix.

And by extension, to within discoverable reach of everybody everywhere on the planet.

Small world curation is the Matrix's unprecedented innovation.

Because 40,000 years is a long time to wait.

And if all art is discoverable from everywhere, then Brazil's is too.

BUT WHY BRAZIL???

"The time has come for these bronzed people to show their worth..."

(Music by Assis Valente. Clip by Betão Aguiar. The Matrix was built in Salvador's Centro Histórico above, incorporating these marvelous people.)

Brazil is not a European nation. It's not a North American nation. It's not an East Asian nation. It straddles — jungle and desert and dense urban centers — both the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn.

Brazil absorbed over ten times the number of enslaved Africans taken to the United States of America, and is a repository of African deities (and their music) now largely forgotten in their lands of origin.

Brazil was a refuge (of sorts) for Sephardim fleeing an Inquisition which followed them across the Atlantic (that unofficial symbol of Brazil's national music — the pandeiro — the hand drum in the opening scene above — was almost certainly brought to Brazil by these people).

Three cultures — from three continents — running for their lives, their confluence forming an unprecedented fourth. Pandeirista on the roof.

Nowhere else but here. Brazil itself is a matrix.

Open to members of the worldwide creative economy.
