- Disintermediation effects in the music business: a return to old times?Publication . Bernardo, Francisco; Martins, Luis GustavoThe paper makes a brief historical review of the evolution of the music industry over time, contextualizing the technological aftermath in the industry’s current reality. Business models and success factors of the traditional entities within the music industry's landscape are suffering significant change. In a reality afforded by easy access to networked global communications, disintermediation effects are succeeding, in what appears to be a comeback to the old days of music business, when artists had control and a more self-sufficient and autonomous role in business. The paper argues that the relation between artist and consumer, which was once direct, grew overtime to accommodate intermediaries, due to promotion and distribution needs. Furthermore, it suggests that new business models are arising, that encompass elements of the traditional value chains and that can constitute the alternative to support a direct and successful relation between artist and consumer.

- The new sentient and spectrumsPublication . Gomes, José Alberto; Carvalho, José Vasco; Alves, Lorena FerreiraThe book New Sentient and Spectrums emerges from a line of inquiry that weaves together artistic practice and theoretical reflection to examine the shifting nature of the sentient in contemporary conditions. Bringing together perspectives from art, technology, ecology, and posthuman thought, the book reflects on the transformation of the sentient in the posthuman era; an era marked by the increasing convergence of the human, the technological, and the natural. Within this landscape, art is framed as a speculative space that anticipates and experiments with new realities. While positioning art as a site of resistance and a generator of new imaginaries and modes of being, the book also addresses the impact of digital culture and artificial intelligence on contemporary perception and experience, raising critical questions about the commodification of the sentient within technological capitalism. The volume is structured around two main axes. The first, Speculative Practices, offers research and projects that examine experimental artistic practices related to ecology, emerging technologies, and the Anthropocene. Contributions engage with themes such as the interactivity between natural and artificial systems, expanded listening through soundscapes, electromagnetic signals, and vibrations, as well as the development of installations and performances that investigate expanded forms of consciousness and possible futures. Particular emphasis is placed on the articulation between organic matter, environmental processes, and digital media, proposing new forms of multispecies cohabitation. The second axis, Immersive Studies in Sound, Media and Cinema, focuses on theoretical and curatorial analyses that explore image and sound within immersive contexts. Documentary, animation, cinema, and sound art comprise the subjects, with a particular emphasis on audience sensory experience, the construction of acoustic identities, and the relationship between aesthetics and sociopolitical issues.

- Symbiophone: interfaces for unheard communicationsPublication . Gaspar, Jéssica PereiraConsidering the vital role of fungi in biological communities and their capacity to detect sound-induced vibrations from the environment, this study draws from scientific and artistic methodologies to initiate a discussion on how sound can shape and help restore ecosystems. Fungi establish mycorrhizal networks, an intricate communication system created by mycelium interweaving with the roots of various plants and trees, linking entire ecological communities. Understanding how sound influences the symbiotic dynamic of these networks offers a non-traditional approach to ecosystem restoration, aiming to nurture ontologies of care and encourage ethical practices for multispecies interactions. To uncover and address the hidden dialogues in which we unwittingly engage, this article presents an introductory study on mycelium’s responsiveness to specific sound frequencies, pursued during the development of the installation Symbiophone.
- Soundscapes as documentary: warrant in animated filmPublication . Bento, BernardoIn animated documentary films, realism is often achieved with the use of real audio interviews. While many theorists argue that these recordings validate the genre, this research examines how the overall soundtrack reinforces the documentary classification of animated films. Can an animated documentary establish a sense of reality through sound? This study addresses the gap between theoretical frameworks by R. Murray Schafer, Barry Truax, Michel Chion, and Randolph Jordan, and their application to animated documentary film. Using the animated film Percebes as a case study, this article explores how soundscapes contribute to the pursuit for realism and an emotional experience. This study explores how the environmental sounds construct a narrative that reflects the changing acoustic identity of the Algarve region. Does sound serve as a bridge between animation and reality? Is this connection essential to animated documentary?
- Spectrums and indexicality: through the abyssology of João Maria Gusmão & Pedro PaivaPublication . Machado, MarianaThis chapter aims to build on the work of João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva to develop the ideas of spectrums and indexicality. Rather than trying to interpret or develop their ideas in some way, we will use their work, with particular emphasis on an exhibition from 2008, as objects of theoretical experimentation to understand how certain perspectives are reflected in them. To do this, we will start with the concept of “spectrum” and some perspectives based on it, such as that of Jacques Derrida, and we will outline a possible reading of the exhibition. We will then reject this perspective and, through spirit photography, develop a use for the word “spectrum” from another point of view, focusing the main divergence on the concept of indexicality. Finally, through this new perspective, we will understand how it has consequences for the approach to all art and experience, namely through Nelson Goodman’s concept of worldmaking
- Babel’s Monkeys (2012)Publication . Ferreira, Luís Sarmento; Sá, CristinaBabel’s Monkeys is an art work by Luís Sarmento Ferreira that consists on the cyclical rewriting of the biblical episode of The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1 – 9 – King James Version) using words from the real-time stream of Twitter public feeds. The work is presented on a wooden plinth with a built-in monitor on its top face. The object evokes both the shape of a pulpit or lectern and the one of a reading table with a book rack. This relates to the religious nature of the text being displayed in the monitor and to the influence of Jorge Luis Borges’ The Library of Babel to this work.
