Image generation using generative artificial intelligence is a popular activity. However, it is almost exclusively performed in the privacy of an individual's home via typing on a keyboard. In this article, we explore body prompting as input for image generation. Body prompting extends interaction with generative AI beyond textual inputs to reconne...
Since its creation, in 2008, Europeana has decisively fostered the digitisation and dissemination of cultural heritage from European archives, libraries, galleries and museums. Although visual arts and architecture have a central presence in Europeana Collections, more often than not, the information about museum buildings and exhibition spaces ten...
Tema fundamental na história da arquitectura de museus, os espaços de transição são particularmente relevantes no Museu Louisiana de Arte Moderna, em Humlebæk, Dinamarca. Para além de articularem edifícios construídos em diferentes épocas, as áreas de circulação e a comunicação entre interior e exterior fazem parte da identidade do museu. Projectad...
Over recent years, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of Art History has garnered growing interest. Many academic publications on this relatively recent topic explore the role of AI in the analysis of huge datasets and digitised art collections, according to specific research or curatorial questions, while others address AI as a t...

surgindo, ao mesmo tempo, como palavra-chave em inúmeros projetos e artigos
científicos. Em...

O cruzamento entre a arte e as tecnologias digitais tem vindo a afirmar-se, progressivamente, como um tema fundamental na cultura contemporânea. Um pouco por todo o mundo, multiplicam-se as exposições, os festivais, as conferências e as publicações relacionadas com a arte digital e em rede. Paralelamente à criação de novos espaços espec...
Focusing on the paradox of embodiment/ disembodiment in virtual space, and on the recent history of Net Art, this article proposes to go back to Roy Ascott’s metaphor of the ‘telematic embrace’ in order to examine different artistic and theoretical approaches to online affectivity. While the first generation of artists who founded the net.art movem...

Frequentemente interpretado como contraponto às doutrinas intervencionistas do século XIX, o conceito de intervenção mínima tem demonstrado uma capacidade de actualização e uma relevância cultural que ultrapassam, largamente, a dimensão retórica das teorias anti-restauro. Acompanhando a evolução das correntes de pensamento sobre o património arquit...

A revolução digital tem sido muitas vezes associada à indefinição de fronteiras geográficas, levando a novas formas de reconhecimento e (in)diferenciação territorial. À medida que as distâncias físicas se dissiparam, as barreiras tornaram-se ambíguas e crescentemente condicionadas por reconfigurações digitais de lugares reais ou ficcionados. Depois...
Inspired by Ad Reinhardt's poster-manifesto " How Modern is the Museum of Modern Art? " (1940), this paper questions to what extent digital art museums and collections are really exploring the possibilities of Digital and Internet Art. Let's look at the context In the past few decades, museums seem to have dealt well enough with the digital revolut...

O presente artigo pretende abordar esta questão através de quatro casos na cidade de Lisboa, organizados em dois dípticos. No primeiro, trata-se de " museus-memória " , celebradores da História e m...

Over the second half of the 20 th century, museum architecture achieved an unprecedented popularity, assuming a central role in the redefinition of urban iconography. Compared with cathedrals, museum buildings often became landmarks with the capacity of attracting crowds of visitors. But the impact of museum architecture goes far beyond the symboli...

A dissertação parte de um enquadramento internacional, focando temas, tendências e projectos de referência, de forma a...
In Portugal, the majority of art museums are installed in buildings that were
originally conceived for other uses. The adaptation of historical buildings into
museums reveals a great complexity because, besides restoring the pre-existing
constructions, it is necessary to respond to the multiple requirements of today’s
museological programmes. In th...
Contemporary museums, especially art museums, are not only one of the most important and noteworthy building tasks in the public domain, they also present an extraordinary pure materialization of the architectural positions that inform them. In these edifices one can read contemporary developments in architecture with particular clarity - deve- lop...
