Born 1931 in São Paulo, Augusto de Campos is, with his brother Haroldo, one of the founders of the concrete poetry movement in Brazil. He is also a translator, music critic and visual artist. From 1980 Augusto de Campos has worked intensively with new media and has presented his poems in the form of video-texts, neon lights, electrical panels, holograms, laser lights, infographics and multimedia elements.
