    2021-10 - Soares, Celia; Santos, Nadine; Simão, Emília
    The Observatory of Electronic Music and Media Art (Ob.EMMA) is a pioneer observatory created in 2019 for monitoring, mapping, diagnosing and promoting the investigation of electronic music and media art in Portugal. Ob.EMMA is part of the ID research center CITCEM_Center for Transdisciplinary Research on Culture, Space and Memory. Given its hybrid nature, this observatory includes artists and academics from various institutions and areas, namely, communication sciences, social sciences, technologies, humanities and arts. Ob.EMMA integrates two main lines of research: 1_Elec- tronic Music and 2_Media Art. explored both autonomously and also together. One of the objectives of this observatory is to create a digi- tal platform with the main purpose of organizing, managing and preserving information, using different storytelling forms of visual- ization. The work in progress is a pilot project, developed within the scope of line 1_Electronic Music to be later applied in the line 2_Media Art and if possible, to create intersections between both and available on the web for public access.

    Digital accessibility in Art Museum Webpages and Virtual Tours
    2025-10-01 - Silva, Fátima Matos; Simão, Emília
    This article delves into the crucial and significant issue of digital accessibility on the websites of some of the world’s most visited and renowned art museums and their virtual tour counterparts. The central objective and our guiding question are to explore the impact of digital adaptation, facilitated by technological innovation, on the infoaccessibility of virtual visit web pages. We aim to determine whether these digital adaptations outperform the pages that inform and publicize the respective museums for those who plan to visit in person. Our quantitative and qualitative analysis of the digital accessibility of the museums under study was conducted to ascertain if the web content adheres to the accessibility requirements outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), as stipulated in Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and in the European Standard EN 17161:2019. The final analysis revealed some shortcomings, as several pages do not fully comply with the principles of virtual accessibility. Notably, we found that virtual visit pages of museums generally underperform compared to information pages for in-person visits, although there are exceptions to this trend. These findings have the potential to significantly impact the digital accessibility of art museum websites and virtual tours.

    Art and Popular Religiosity: The “Alminhas” from Sabugal, Portugal
    2025-11-23 - Silva, Fátima Matos; Simão, Emília
    This article examines the “Alminhas” of the municipality of Sabugal in the Beira Alta region (Portugal) as expressions of popular religiosity and cultural heritage. The main goal of the study is to survey and analyse the iconography of tile panels found in 27 preserved oratories within the area. A qualitative methodology was employed, involving bibliographic research and fieldwork conducted across the 30 parishes of the municipality. This fieldwork involved taking photographs, georeferencing sites and collecting local testimonies. The research revealed that Christian themes, primarily focused on saving souls in purgatory, are prevalent, particularly images of Christ crucified, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and angels interceding for the souls in flames. There are also newer devotional motifs, such as Our Lady of Fátima. The findings emphasise the importance of these structures as symbols of local identity and evidence of deep-rooted religious customs, although they are currently threatened by deterioration, vandalism and undocumented changes. This work helps to recognise the “Alminhas” as an essential part of Portuguese religious and popular artistic heritage.

    The Drum n’ Bass Music Scene in Porto [comunicação oral]
    2025-01-24 - Coelho, Ana; Reis, Julia; Simão, Emília
    The drum ‘n’ bass music scene in Porto emerged at the height of the English scene in the 1990s, with the music initially being introduced by music shops and small labels. The cradle of the scene in Porto was Ribeira with its promoters and ‘nightlife entrepreneurs’ who pioneered the programming of the new style. The scene expanded in the 2000s with the arrival of major events and participation in the European Capital of Culture Porto 2001, which helped establish drum ‘n’ bass on the city's music scene. This paper explores the framework of the drum'n'bass music scene in Porto within the characteristics of music scenes: spatiality, regularity, ephemerality, mortality, volatility, collectivization, theatricality, transgression, spectacle, interrelationship and commodification, as well as identifying the major stimuli for the emergence of the scene and its protagonists (spaces, actors and venues), forming a chronological narrative of the drum'n'bass scene in Porto.

    2020-06 - Soares, Celia; Simão, Emília
    This chapter illustrates the reaction to the preservation and conservation of software-based media art and summarizes the crucial ideas and questions that involve this emergent area of conservation. The chapter analyzes the role in which conservators explore the impact of the method, attitudes to change, technology obsolescence, and the influence of the how the artist imagines and understands their practice on the conservation of these works as they enter the exhibition space. In addressing the conservation of software-based media art, this chapter highlights the variety of knowledge and expertise required: expertise that is personified in the teamwork of those who support these functions. The author completes the chapter by recommending that developing and maintaining these efforts has become a crucial part of the software-based media conservator's role.

    Community engagement
    2023-11-29 - Alcindor, Mónica; Simão, Emília
    The publication presents the results of the project ‘Versus-Heritage for People’, funded by the Creative Europe EU programme. The main aim of the project was to actively involve a broad audience and raise awareness among it concerning the value of vernacular knowledge in shaping more sustainable and resilient models of development. The material and immaterial elements constituting a vernacular heritage (encompassing local materials, construction methods, models for living and social interaction, technical and environmental knowledge for the management of territories, natural resources, settlements, etc.) have enormous potential for generating forward-thinking models that can improve the environmental and social quality of our habitats, foster a sense of identity and belonging, and relate in a balanced way to the capacities of our planet. The book explores strategies and tools for managing and transmitting knowledge and the values associated with vernacular heritage. It includes concrete examples and good practices for engaging people in processes of knowledge and the enhancement of vernacular heritage values for sustainability. The outcome is the result of the collaborative efforts between the five academic institutions involved in the project – Universitat Politècnica de València as coordinator (ES), University of Florence (IT), University of Cagliari (IT), CRAterre-ENSAG (FR) and Escola Superior Gallaecia at Universidade Portucalense (PT). A total of 63 authors, comprising both external scholars and professionals, contributed to the book.

    Digital culture and music: the influence of fandom on musical consolidation in pandemic times through digital platforms [Abstract]
    2022-07-16 - Borges, Mariane; Simão, Emília
    This study aims to identify the influence of fandom on the consolidation of artistic success in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, analyzing the behavioral phenomena related to the audience on digital platforms focused on the trajectory of independent artist Ana Cañas. The pandemic caused the cancellation of in-person concerts as a restrictive measure to prevent the spread of the virus, bringing major difficulties for the artists, especially for independent music artists. In the middle of this scenario, Ana Cañas achieved artistic success, made possible due the intervention of fandom: the strategy enabled a live broadcast and recording of an album using digital platforms. This research is based on qualitative and quantitative approach and is classified as a case study, using document analysis and netnography as research techniques for data collection and selection and analysis of comments generated from fan activism, around three digital platforms - Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. The uses of the three platforms in the musical experience and the proximity generated with the communication between fan and artist in this period were observed. It was found that fandom activism effectively helped in the musical consolidation of the independent artist, but represented, above all, a political act of resistance. The social impact that the fandom has had in times of crisis, as it was in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, is extremely important. Fans played a social role in promoting the artist, using digital platforms as a space for intervention, debate and criticism. Alternative solutions were proposed through the union and collaboration of its members, who acted independently to achieve a common objective, breaking with the dominant power structures. Being independent in the music world goes beyond the debate that involves indies or majors, indie is a state of mind that sets itself against corporate hegemonic values. The fandom acted as a movement of social mobilization and political participation, claiming their rights based on the participation and engagement of the fans themselves.

    2018-07 - Silva, Henrique; Simão, Emília
    In this chapter, the authors discuss the use of digital media in the creation of digital art, questioning the evolution of the relationship between technology and concept in communication through art. The intersection of new media and digital art have been opening interesting and seductive new horizons and in parallel, the concept, the understanding, the legitimacy of artistic creation, the role of the artist and the role of the spectator are also redefined. Based on two experimental works of the artist Henrique Silva, the authors analyze and reflect on the relationship of technology, art and virtuality, focusing on concepts like experience, sensory, immersion, communication and interaction in artworks created through digital media.
