Introdução aos Novos Média

Ano Lectivo 2009-2010

Licenciatura em Estudos Artísticos

Docente: Manuel Portela

O desenvolvimento da tecnologia digital alterou a ecologia dos média, gerando processos de remediação de géneros e formas anteriores, bem como géneros e formas especificamente digitais. Esta mudança reflecte-se quer nos meios de comunicação de massas (jornais, rádio, televisão), quer nos meios de produção artística, da pintura às artes do espectáculo. A organização em rede da produção, distribuição e recepção das formas digitais reforça modos específicos de interacção social mediada pelo computador, com consequências para a auto-representação do sujeito e para a estrutura do espaço social. Este programa tem dois objectivos principais: reflectir sobre a natureza específica da mediação digital, nas suas várias dimensões; e formalizar conceitos e instrumentos de análise de formas e géneros artísticos digitais, considerados também na sua dimensão institucional. Observaremos obras de teatro, cinema, música, pintura, desenho, fotografia, vídeo, instalação, rádio, televisão, artes gráficas, literatura, etc. em que a mediação digital assume uma função importante, seja na produção, na distribuição ou na recepção. A disciplina funciona em regime de avaliação contínua, com um teste (50% da classificação final), participação no blogue colectivo (c. 3000 palavras, 25%) DigArtMedia http://digartmedia.wordpress.com/ e um trabalho de análise de uma obra digital ou de uma prática social digital (c. 2000 palavras, 25%).

Introduction to New Media

Digital technology has changed the ecology of media by processes of remediation of earlier genres and forms, and by generating digital genres and forms. This change has affected mass media (newspapers, radio, television), as well as the modes of artistic production, from painting to the performing arts. Networked production, distribution, and reception of digital forms reinforce modes of social interaction mediated by computers, with consequences for the representation of the self and for the structure of social space. This course has two main objectives: to reflect upon the specific nature of digital mediation, in its various dimensions; and to formalize concepts and tools for describing and analysing digital artistic forms, which will be considered also in their institutional dimension. We will look at a selection of works of theatre, cinema, music, painting, drawing, photography, video, installation, radio, television, graphic arts, literature, etc., in which digital mediation plays an important role, whether in the production, distribution, or reception. Assessment is continuous, including one test (50% of final grade), blog participation (c. 3000 words, 25%) in DigArtMedia http://digartmedia.wordpress.com/ , and analysis of a digital work or a digital social practice (c. 2000 words, 25%).
