Criatura digital: redimensão do lugar cénico

Mestrado em Design, Materiais e Gestão de ProdutoO presente trabalho propõe-se a reflectir sobre a recriação do imaginário e expectativas do ser humano na Arte Digital. Importantes linhas de acção da contemporaneidade artística - a reflexão teórica sobre o tempo e a sua relação com o espaço; a criação de ambientes plasticamente complexos; a participação directa do público; a novidade, intimidade, instantaneadade, envolvimento; e o sentido de tempo presente – são actualmente exploradas pelo meio tecnológico que possibilita a criação de ambientes, importando reflectir sobre novas formas de pensar linguagens de mediação capazes de redimensionar, sensorial e emotivamente, as experiências do ser humano.The present work proposes a reflection about the recreation of the imaginary and the expectations of the human being in the Digital Art. Important lines of action of the contemporary art – the teoric reflection on the time and its relation with space; the creation of plastical complex environments; the direct participation of the audience; the novelty, the intimacy, instantaneous, involvement; and the sense of present time – are actually exploited by the tecnologic medium that makes possible the creation of environments, being of great importance to reflect over new ways of thinking mediation languages that are capable of redimentionating, both sensory and emotionally, the human being experiences

On the importance of an enlarged ‘design for policy’ framework within the public policy cycle

This paper aims to reinforce the importance of looking at ‘design for policy’ in an enlarged perspective, encompassing the entirety of the public policy cycle. This is substantiated with a re-examination of ‘design for policy’ foundational literature, by highlighting a narrative which we argue to have set its expectations mostly on pro- cesses for (co-)creating new policies. In turn, the later stages of the policy cycle have not been getting sufficient attention, leading to an unbalanced ‘design for policy’ ap- proach. We also contrast this interpretation with recent literature, further attesting to its fragmentation. Furthermore, this is analysed considering evidence emerging within the New European Bauhaus policy, while also seeing it as an opportunity to further strengthen a ‘design for policy’ approach. Ultimately, this fragmentation seems to lie both on the incipient nature of ‘design for policy’, but also on how design is under- stood, and is translated to the policy making process

Dans la première partie de cet article, deux «modèles» de participation — l'une délibérément provoquée par le pouvoir patronal, l'autre née de l'action syndicale — sont présentés sous une forme schématique et examinés dans le contexte de cette confrontation permanente que constituent les relations du travail. Dans la seconde partie, on examine si les indications ainsi recueillies peuvent permettre de mieux comprendre quelques-unes des difficultés rencontrées par le Législateur français instituant les Comités d' entreprise.Delamotte Yves.

The cyberjournal as a teaching tool: from technique to practice

the interdisciplinary work that culminated in the creation of the cyberjournal Jornalismo- PortoNet (JPN) in March 2004. The primary purpose of JPN was to provide an academic training post for last term students, simulating the editorial office of a newspaper. Taking advantage of the interdisciplinary and human resources of the course, a scheme has been implemented for editing and publishing news material, involving teachers from particular fields of Design, Computer Science and Journalism. The idea was to make the most of the potentialities offered by internet, choosing news building structures to suit this new process (open, in tree, multilinear, and with parallel linkages), by means of text blocks hyperconnected to one another. The goals proposed in this initial phase of JPN which lasted until the first days in June were globally reached. Although JPN was not widely advertised, its visibility was good, reaching some twenty thousand visits in the two and half months of intensive work. In all, more than 900 articles and dozens of radio and television reports were prepared and transmitted. These results make the authors conclude that the cyberjournal is an excellent tool in Journalism teaching, considering its low production and distribution costs and the internet potentialities as medium of communication wherein all the other media converge

Algorithmic Science News: support platform for science journalism

A plataforma Algorithmic Science News (ASN) é uma nova ferramenta criada por uma equipa multidisciplinar que surgiu da necessidade de reinscrever o papel das notícias sobre ciência no espaço mediático presente. A plataforma tem como objetivo aumentar o número de notícias científicas disponíveis para os editores e reduzir o esforço associado a tarefas mais demoradas como a recolha de dados e análise de artigos científicos, facilitando todo o processo de produção de notícias. A plataforma ASN agrega um conjunto de funcionalidades destinadas a apoiar o trabalho habitual de um jornalista em contextos redatoriais, permitindo a utilização de documentos em repositórios científicos de acesso aberto. O desenvolvimento de algoritmos que trabalham sobre estes repositórios seguiu o propósito de facilitar o acesso e a exploração destas coleções e permitir que os órgãos de comunicação as utilizem como fonte informativa. Neste projeto desenvolveram-se ferramentas de leitura e interpretação, escrita e sugestão semântica. No que concerne à leitura e interpretação, o ASN permite encontrar especialistas relacionados com o artigo científico, resumir as partes mais determinantes, nomeadamente a introdução, objetivos, metodologias e resultados, apresentar definições de termos técnicos e sugerir projetos relacionados com o tema. No que diz respeito à parte de escrita, a plataforma permite escrever notas relacionadas com partes do artigo e ter acesso a sugestões de frases. A utilização de uma versão beta desta plataforma em contextos redatoriais permitirá perceber até que ponto a automação de tarefas associadas à produção jornalística poderá ajudar os meios de comunicação em transição para o digital, assim como contribuir para uma maior eficiência nas tarefas associadas ao jornalismo de ciência, permitindo uma maior massificação e qualidade na produção de notícias científicas no panorama mediático atual.The Algorithmic Science News (ASN) platform is a new tool created by a multidisciplinary team that emerged from the need to reinscribe the role of science news in today's media space. The platform aims not only to increase the number of scientific news available to publishers, but also to reduce the effort associated with more time-consuming tasks such as collecting data and analyzing scientific articles and thereby facilitating the entire news production process. The ASN platform includes a set of features designed to support the journalist's standard procedure in writing contexts, allowing the use of documents in open access scientific repositories. The development of algorithms working on these repositories followed the purpose of facilitating the access and exploration of these collections and allowing the media to use them as an information source. In this project, we developed tools of reading and interpretation, writing and semantic suggestion. With regard to reading and interpretation, ASN helps on finding specialists related to the scientific article, summarizes the most determinant parts, namely the introduction, objectives, methodologies and results, present definitions of technical terms, and suggest projects related to the topic. With regard to the writing part, the platform allows to write notes related to parts of the article and have access to phrases suggestions. The use of a beta version of this platform in writing contexts will allow the realization of the extent to which the automation of tasks associated with journalistic production can help the media in transition to digital, as well as to contribute to a greater efficiency in the tasks associated with science journalism, allowing a greater massification and quality in the production of scientific news in the current media landscape

O ciberjornal como instrumento de ensino: Da teoria à prática

Nesta comunicação, pretende-se apresentar o trabalho interdisciplinar que resultou na criação, em Março de 2004, do ciberjornal JornalismoPortoNet (JPN). O objectivo imediato do JPN foi proporcionar um estágio académico interno a 15 dos alunos finalistas do curso, simulando o trabalho de uma redacção. Aproveitando as sinergias e os recursos humanos do curso, foi desenvolvida uma plataforma de edição e publicação de material noticioso, envolvendo docentes das áreas de Design, Informática e Jornalismo. No trabalho desenvolvido, procurou-se tirar o máximo partido das potencialidades que a Internet oferece, apostando em estruturas de construção de notícias adequadas a este novo meio (abertas, arbóreas, multi-lineares e de ligações paralelas), através de textos hiperligados entre si. Os objectivos propostos nesta fase-piloto do JPN, que se prolongou até ao início de Junho, foram globalmente atingidos. Apesar de não ter sido feita grande divulgação, a visibilidade do JPN foi muito boa, atingindo cerca de 20 mil visitas nos dois meses e meio de trabalho intensivo. Ao todo, foram elaboradas e difundidas mais de 900 notícias e dezenas de reportagens de rádio e televisão. Estes resultados levam os autores a concluir que o ciberjornal é um instrumento óptimo de ensino do Jornalismo, dados os baixos custos de produção e distribuição e as potencialidades da Internet enquanto meio em que convergem todos os outros.During this presentation we intend to show the interdisciplinary work that culminated in the creation of the cyberjournal JornalismoPortoNet (JPN) in March 2004.
