(…) O último autor deste alinhamento, Miguel Soares, é um artista que desde sempre acompanho e com o qual divido atelier/ Oporto. Para além destes dados pessoais que tornam a minha escolha claramente facciosa, Miguel Soares é um pioneiro na criação meticulosa de universos digitais.
Este demiurgo digital, cria mundos utópicos distintos (dependentes do programa que usa) controlando desde as leis gerais aos mais ínfimos pormenores. Tudo gravita em torno de narrativas insólitas e performances cujo o absurdo revela um profundo sentido existencial e poético.
Cada um dos trabalhos concebidos por estes artistas é, parafraseando Melo e Castro, um ponto luminoso, criado com precisão laboratorial para mundos suspensos auto‑suficientes.
Juntá‑los transversalmente neste novo contexto, apesar de um acto profano, ajudou‑me a formar uma constelação subjectiva do que poderá ser uma sensibilidade e uma prática experimental em Portugal.
Alexandre Estrela— Lisboa 2009. from the catalogue (excerpt)
