The exhibition and book featured heavily in the Brazilian media with Globo TV transmitting it to 220 million primetime viewers, weekly arts TV program Metropolis, as well as significant press in O Estado de São Paulo, Folha De Sao Paulo and FHOX. The book, designed by Jim Sutherland of Studio Sutherl&, is ready to purchase and is available direct from the artist at lyon@marcuslyon.com or Editora Madelena. ISBN 978-85-61921-06-4. The publication comes with a free image-activated app, produced by Matt Hill with Calvium, to access individual soundscapes of each portrait, and ancestoral DNA analysis of all the nominated subjects, supplied by Family Tree DNA lab in Houston, Texas.

In other news, during late April the Somos Brasil book won three coverted D&AD Awards for design excellence. Additionally, Sotheby’s has consigned Optogenome I for its May  19th sale. In the public realm Lyon’s recent  TED talk about the Somos Brasil project is also available to watch on YouTube.
