visual artist best known for her installation artwork inspired by

Caetano Veloso and
Gilberto Gil. In 1970, she had her first installation, "Magi(o)cean". She has conducted numerous interviews with
John Cage, including a video interview that eventually became a part of her film ''Controverse''. She moved to New York in the 1970s, and in 1979 she curated "the first and most comprehensive Brazilian avant-garde exhibit in the city at that time." In 1980, she was awarded a
Guggenheim Fellowship. She lived in Austin, Texas with her husband, video installation artist and professor
Bill Lundberg, until 2011, when they both moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Vater's work is known for its feminist themes and questions regarding culture and identity.
