Prof. Alva Martínez Teixeiro, a member of the ILLA group, published the article "Clear enigmas and hidden meanings: the perpetuum mobile of the ‘machine of the world’ motif in recent interartistic activity in Brazil" in the journal Arte, Individuo y Sociedad, published by the Complutense University of Madrid.
The article, drawing from the European Renaissance origins in the writings of Dante and Camões, analyzes how the metaphor of the machina mundi first appeared in Brazilian literature through the canonical poem by Carlos Drummond de Andrade. It then explores the multiple and evolving possibilities of the literary-cultural motif of the 'machine of the world' in Brazilian art, literature, and interartistic practices.
