Landscapes made to be seen on a monitor, moved into the street. In autumn 2024, Artcrush Gallery showed Santos's work on about 1,000 digital billboards in Belgium, Romania, Amsterdam, Indonesia and Australia, in a program curated by Fanny Lakoubay. In Brussels it filled Clear Channel screens across metro stations. In Jakarta the work ran on screens in the MRT, with AMG Indonesia and Otego Media (October 2024). In Bucharest it appeared on large outdoor screens with Phoenix Media (7–13 October 2024).

In June 2025, during NFT NYC, his work was one of twenty in the OBJKT Pop-Up Show in the Streets of NYC, organised by OBJKT with Unfold Gallery and curated by Raquel Gaudard and Kika Nicolela. A landscape by Santos crossed Midtown and Times Square on a mobile LED screen, among the billboards of the most advertised square in the world.
