He is an intermedia artist, music composer, programmer, inventor and technologist that focuses on technological innovation through a humanistic lens. Daniel has always been fascinated by music, art, electronics, programming and science. A self-taught technologist, he initially approached software development and hardware prototyping as a way to spur enhanced creativity in artistic endeavors.
From Brazil, he moved to the US in 2014. He's presented shows, given workshops and talks in the US and abroad. His performances, installations and collaborations have been presented in prestigious Art & Technology galleries.
Daniel has led the development of Not Impossible’s Vibrotextile™ technology (a term he coined) and its varied applications, including Music: Not Impossible (M:NI). A “surround body” experience, the M:NI wearable system provides a nuanced vibrational experience across the body. Inspired by the deaf community, the result evolved into a new artform: The Art of Haptics.
M:NI has won several awards and has been praised by the likes of Pharrell Williams, Lady Gaga, Hans Zimmer, Greta Van Fleet, Brad Wilk (Rage Against the Machine),Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), and more.
Daniel is exploring and developing ways Vibrotextile™ technology can improve people’s lives across a multitude of applications, including health and wellbeing.
