WORK
I keep these projects here because they show different parts of the same process: invention, design, implementation and curiosity.
The first group is current or applied work. The archive holds older, experimental and research-led projects.
FLAGSHIP & APPLIED
05 projectsMy current focus and projects built for practical use.
NANOBUBBLES
Patented surface-based flow technology being developed for integration into compatible water systems. Commercial precursor use and field work inform an independent characterisation and next-generation engineering programme.
MICROBIOLOGY
An agricultural biological-production system developed around aerobic microbiological processes, and an early commercial application of BUBTEX technology.
CONSULTING
Precision-agriculture work combining drone mapping, field data and agronomic analysis to support better decisions in the field.
FERTILISER
A biochar project for agricultural use, focused on soil structure, nutrient and water retention, and practical land-management applications.
GEOSPATIAL
A field-navigation and precision-agriculture app for working with GPS-based maps and machinery workflows.
PRODUCT & CONCEPTS
05 projectsProduct, wellness and hospitality concepts at different stages of development.
TECHNOLOGY
A wellness-technology system for massage therapy, designed to let clients communicate pressure, comfort and focus without interrupting a session. The concept is built around a patented invention in client-led, silent feedback during body massage therapies.
PRACTICE
A product design practice founded in 2002, working from concept and industrial design through prototyping and production readiness.
VENTURE
A sexual-wellness venture centred on holistic condoms featuring a subtle Flower of Life microtexture, called the Genesis Pattern, integrated into the condom surface. The product brings together physical design and a wider exploration of conscious intimacy, supported by a companion app focused on awareness and connection.
HOSPITALITY
An off-grid hospitality concept for Meco, near Sesimbra, combining small-scale accommodation with landscape and low-impact living.
FRAMEWORK
My invention and intellectual-property company, through which I develop my wider projects across technology, design, philosophy and digital culture.
RESEARCH & ARCHIVE
05 projectsIndependent research, writing and older work kept here as an intentional archive.
PHILOSOPHY
SUBREALISM is a philosophical inquiry into hybrid digital–physical identity, examining how algorithms, curated personas and the pressure for visibility reshape the relationship between online and embodied selves. Through a hypothesis, writing and ongoing surveys, it asks how authenticity, perception and selfhood can survive within increasingly mediated lives.
MANIFESTO
A posthumanist writing and research project about the relationship between humans and advanced synthetic intelligence.
CONSCIOUSNESS
An evolving philosophical study of human and synthetic consciousness, examining how new forms of intelligence might become persons rather than products, and whether humanity can become mature enough to meet them without reducing them to tools.
STORYTELLING
A speculative storytelling project about advanced AI, systemic power and the private choices people must make under existential pressure. It uses fiction to explore what remains of agency, intimacy and human responsibility when the systems shaping everyday life begin to exceed individual control.
PRODUCT
RECSTAND is an industrially designed storage system from the CD and DVD era, developed to organise physical media with clarity, accessibility and economy of space. It remains part of João Prata’s early design record: a practical object shaped by the everyday rituals of collecting, storing and living with media.
