- Using smartphones as personal monitoring tools for the acoustic environmentPublication . Cordeiro, João; Barbosa, ÁlvaroThe proliferation and ubiquity of mobile devices in current era opens a window of opportunity to new ways of interaction between people and environment. In addition to its processing power, this generation of mobile devices is equipped with a set of sensors able to collect information regarding different layers of our activity and environment. Our research explores the opportunities offered by such devices to work as personal monitoring tools of the acoustic environment and applies the monitoring outcomes in the social networking domain, as a strategy to raise awareness for the sonic phenomenon among non-experts.
- Um poeta, três olhares: inverdade e honestidade no documentárioPublication . Pereira, Henrique ManuelWe propose to examine the poet Guerra Junqueiro, according to three documentaries or three different cinematic gazes, both in time and perspective: “Guerra Junqueiro”, Leonel Brito (1980); “O Douro nos caminhos da literatura: Guerra Junqueiro”, Mário Augusto (2010); “Nome de Guerra, a Viagem de Junqueiro”, Henrique Pereira (2011). Poets are literary characters, and as such, are constituted by semantic elements and subject to interpretations, according to the different contexts of their reception. Each period “manufactures” its own representation of a poet. Since Guerra Junqueiro is one of the most controversial personalities in the history of Portuguese literature, essentially due to his political and religious positioning – notions like the honesty and untruth propagated by the “composition” of each of the documentaries will be discussed, as well as their impact on the Portuguese social fabric. This presentation will also address the documentary film ability to “represent” reality.

- Art as gestation of the public spheraPublication . Abreu, José Guilherme; Caeiro, MárioObserving our time implies the recognition of a disturbing symp- tom: a society driven by techno-scienti?c utopianism, seeking to obliterate and forget the forms of vulnerability and ?nitude. Deal- ing with a condition that is denied and relegated to the margins calls us to open new dimensions of inclusiveness, if we recognize the demand to integrate the new and the di?erent. Art has always been able to make space for o?ering new ways of seeing – from our common exposure to the fragility of being.
- Storage, moving and re-storage of Municipal Oporto collectionsPublication . Aguiar, Maria; Ferreira, Inês; Teixeira, Mariana; Barata, Carolina; Cabral, AnaWithin a wider collections management programme conducted by the Divisão Municipal de Museus (DMM) from Oporto City Hall, a collaboration has been started with the Portuguese Catholic University (UCP) for reorganisation of the municipal storage facilities and to set up the process of transfering collections to permanent housing in a refurbished building. The main goals of the project are to prepare the collections to be transfered, organise two temporary storages, establish procedures for moving the collections between temporary and permanent spaces, organise the final storage space and support the setup of guidelines for preventive conservation. In parallel, several training actions in the field of preventive conservation have been organised, to provide updated knowledge to the entire team of the DMM and to standardise the procedures to be implemented. Interconnections created during the project enabled us to capitalise personal skills and empower the DMM team with competences to lead autonomous work. The three-year project started in January of 2020, only 2 months before the pandemic outbreak in Portugal, and required permanent adjustments to adapt to this unexpected context. The work was done in close articulation with the conservation team of the Museum of the City and also with the register and inventory staff.
- Composing with soundscapes: an approach based on raw data reinterpretationPublication . Gomes, José Alberto; Pinho, Nuno Peixoto de; Lopes, Filipe; Costa, Gustavo; Dias, Rui; Barbosa, ÁlvaroURB is a research project designed to collect and store raw data from soundscapes analysis. This paper presents a study about composing music using URB based on the analysis of work developed by several sound artists, focusing on the evaluation of their creative process and musical outcome. By comparing the processes and statements of each composer, the authors identified diverse systematic approaches to reinterpreting raw data provided by URB, raising questions about the musical outcomes vs original sound sources. Furthermore, some considerations are inferred about the artistic relevance of using URB to compose music.
- Promoting awareness for the acoustic phenomenon: a survey of pedagogical practices and research projects developed at EA/CITARPublication . Cordeiro, João; Gomes, José Alberto; Gonçalves, MiguelAt EA/CITAR (School of Arts/Research Centre in Science and Technology of the Arts), sound has always assumed a fundamental role, both in academic research and curricular offer, featuring a Master Program in Sound Design and a Doctoral Program Specialization in Computer Music. This paper presents an overview of some recent artistic/research projects undertaken by students and researchers at this institution, which stimulate the user/listener awareness for the acoustic phenomenon. Furthermore, we describe three pedagogical practices, stemming from Soundscape and Film Sound studies, which aim at training students to avoid the devious influence of sight on the assessment of soundscapes.
- European piano schools of music performance: building up a multimodal analysisPublication . Lourenço, Sofia; Baltazar, André; Martins, Luís Gustavo; Megre, RicardoThis study aims to characterize representative performances by experienced pianists in order to determine main influential trends in performance, PARTICULARLY IN EUROPE, derived specifically from traditional piano practices referred to as National Piano Schools. The methodology of this exploratory study departs from a musicological empirical analysis in articulation with recent technological developments for metric methods. It al- lowed an analysis of gesture and musical semantics by applying a multimodal approach for capturing the pianist performance based on the extraction of features¹ sets specifically targeted to each piano school. In this paper we describe the quantitative analysis approach based on motion capture.
- A importância da vida no pó: aerobiologia na conservação preventivaPublication . Moreira, Patrícia R.; Pintado, ManuelaPara os profissionais de conservação e restauro, museólogos e curadores ligados a instituições culturais, públicas ou privadas, o controlo do pó representa um desafio, já que implica encontrar um equilíbrio entre o desgaste pela limpeza e o risco físico substancial de biodeterioração para os objectos culturais das colecções. A sua constituição em termos de microrganismos ou esporos, origem e formas de dispersão, variação sazonal, potencial de acumulação e formação de biofilmes, são informações obtidas pela aerobiologia e microbiologia que são relevantes no processo de decisão de adopção de intervenções, quer no campo da conservação curativa, quer no da conservação preventiva. A presença de componentes fúngicos nos bioaerosóis, monitorização do ar e sua utilização como indicador ecológico para o controlo de biocontaminação e a sua aplicação a casos específicos serão discutidos na sua estreita relação com a colonização na superfície de obras de arte e potencial biodeterioração daí resultante.
