Arte, Digital, Academia, Museu Zer0
Sabíamos haver na área da arte digital muitos professores que se conhecem e aos seus projetos, mas também muitos que ainda não, e pensámos esta Ágora Interuniversitária como uma plataforma de discussão entre todos, dando oportunidade de, em cada sessão, após uma apresentação inicial, ser gerada discussão, quem sabe despertando para projetos futuros. Open access…

…, Magia, Ritual, Techné, Subjetividade
O ritual é uma tecnologia. Juntamente com as nossas máquinas, artefactos, e outros processos, é parte do technium. Se na Grécia clássica, techné se referia à aplicação prática de conhecimento num qualquer domínio, a como regras, sistemas ou métodos são usados para fazer, um entendimento contemporâneo aponta para uma visão mais estreita, para modos disciplinados…

The history of the music industry is tied up with technologies that mediate or monetise music. These may take various shapes, including performance venues, printing, radio broadcasting and recording, copyrights and royalties and, nowadays, streaming platforms and generative artificial intelligence. Open access Miguel Carvalhais, “Labels, Music, Technology and Dematerialisation.” Break in Case of Emergency: A…

Computational Media and the Paradox of Permanence
Throughout history we have sought permanence in media, to store information, communicate, and help us deal with an ever-changing world. Analog media have carried out this task despite their slow, but inevitable, processes of physical decay. Today computational media are seen as fast, cheap, and convenient alternatives for these tasks, even if they are quite…

Aesthetics after the Ontological Turn: An Ecological Approach to Artificial Creativity
The development of chatbots and other generative systems powered by AI, particularly the latest version of ChatGPT, rekindled many discussions on topics such as intelligence and creativity, even leading some to suggest that we may be undergoing a “fourth narcissistic wound”. Starting from Margaret Boden’s approach to creativity, we will argue that if computational systems…

Designing (with) Computational Objects: From Metamedia to Metaenvironments
We live in a regime of computation, a post-digital condition in which we coexist with a technological unconscious that surrounds us and saturates our lives. This paper looks at how this affects us as citizens, and how it transforms our practices as designers, architects, artists, and creators of things. Informed by design, it examines how…
