An oríkì of my old orixá: the dialogues between science and art in the work of Gilberto Gil

Abstract:

This article presents the results of research based on Gilberto Gil’s artistic production, highlighting an analysis of the presence of science and technology in his life and work. Part of this investigation was based on his lyrics, biography, books and publications on social networks. We also used a set of elements and information extracted from an interview given by Gilberto Gil online. In addition to the possible dialogues between science and art, we also discuss how science and technology communicate with other fields of knowledge. We make an evaluation of the perception that young people of school age have of the figure of Gilberto Gil in order to verify if the artist is known by the public to which we are directing our work and, finally, we suggest future applications.
