Researcher and professor of new media art and digital communication. He founded, along with Marcos Khoriati, the GPSface website and the GPSart (GPSarte) project at www.gpsart.net. The aim of those projects is investigate new forms of social participation using Global Position System (GPS) and also develop an online wireless community using cell phones with GPS. The GPSface is a social networking online community and a Midlet (software) developed in Java that connects people around the world and shows on the Google Maps the position of the user's contact list, and also the distance of the people listed in the “contacts”. The GPSart is a Midlet designed to draw lines on Google Maps using GPS location and it is available for unlocked cell phones that support Java. As a researcher in Art & Technology Cicero developed in the end of 90s softwares to create online texts on a project called “Plato online: nothing, science and technology”, which is completely documented on a book with the same name. The project was commented worlwide due its provocative target, e.g. the algortihms were baptized with the name of important philosophers, most of them related to the end of the authorship in the digital era creating a huge confusion in the www since Google exhibited the websites of the project when users searched for “Michel Foucault”, or “Gilles Deleuze”, for example. In 2004 he started a project to develop more participation of the audience on the web and the result was exhibited in 2006 with the project “magnetopoetry”, a website programmed in Ajax, using a model developed by Garrison Locke. Cicero's work has been analyzed by theoriticians and curators, such as George P. Landow in his book Hypertext 3.0 (John Hopkins UP, 2006), among others.
Currently he is a Researcher in the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA) at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and director of the studio witz, a new media studio based in São Paulo/Brazil. He was a Visiting Scholar at University of California, San Diego (2006-2007/Fellowship from CAPES/State Department of Education/Brazil) and at Brown University (2005/Scholarship supported by CAPES/MEC). Cicero holds a Master degree and a Ph.D. in Communication and Semiotics, is author of Plato online: nothing, science and technology book (All Print), member of the Jury and Scientific Board of FILE SYMPOSIUM (chair), and has been organizing Seminars such as Tecnocriações and Estética e Novas Tecnologias.
