In Eder’s wide participation in biennials and festivals in Brazil and overseas, stands out the partnership with WWVF – World Wide Vídeo Festival, held in Amsterdam, Holland, where the artist presented the installation “Enciclopédia da Ignorância” (Encyclopaedia of Ignorance), also shown at the Media Art Film Festival of Milan, Italy; at the Palácio das Artes, in Belo Horizonte and at the Luciana Brito Gallery in São Paulo.
