Art in the Digital during and after Covid: Aura and Apparatus of Online Exhibitions

The public health measures that were put in place to contain COVID-19 impacted the lives of people and institutions alike. For its global impact and transformation, the pandemic has the potential to be classified as a mega-event. Such radical events have become great opportunities to the testing of new technologies and forms of organisation, (Masi, 2016) that might in the future become prevalent. The impact of the pandemic was particularly felt in the contemporary art world, as the entire cultural activity was suspended. During this period, art institutions and collectives around the world reacted by adapting and providing alternative materials online. This paper aims at reflecting upon the challenges facing the exhibition of contemporary art online. Following Boris Groys’ (2016) actualisation of Walter Benjamin, we problematise how the digital reproduction of art affects the aura of an artwork. Proposing a critique of the apparatus of digital platforms, we analyse how the digital reproduces and enhances ideological structures that overpass the whole of society. For that purpose we analyse how four different organisations (an artist-run space, an art gallery, a museum and an art biennale) have migrated their activity to online platforms. The casestudies will allow a broad understanding of the different approaches available – with some radically taking advantage of the digital environment, and others merely digitising the role taken henceforth by printed catalogues.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Statistical Multiplexing of H.264 video streams using Structural Similarity Information

In this paper, we propose a method to broadcast digital video programs in which the channel capacity is dynamically distributed among video programs according to each video program particular complexity. A bit rate control algorithm based on the Structural Similarity Index as the measure of video program complexity is examined. Initial results show that a uniform picture quality among video programs can be obtained

Statistical Multiplexing of H.264 programms

The advent of H.264/AVC is going to change the way Digital Television programs are broadcast. Each program can be independently encoded or jointly encoded resulting thus in a more efficient way to distribute the available channel bandwidth. This paper presents a combined coding scheme for multi-program video transmission in which the channel capacity is distributed among the programs according to the program complexities. A complexity bit rate control algorithm based on the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) is proposed. SSIM metric is presented under the hypothesis that the Human Visual System (HSV) is very specialized in extracting structural information from a video sequence but not in extracting the errors. Thus, a measurement on structural distortion should give a better correlation to the subjective impression. Current simulations have demonstrated very promising results showing that the algorithm can effectively control the complexity of the multi-program encoding process whilst improving overall subjective

Artistic projects in the field of street arts in Europe

A compreensão da atual realidade europeia no contexto da criação artística para o espaço público revela uma pertinência acrescida numa altura em que novos domínios da criação artística conquistam espaço na agenda europeia. Com o desenrolar deste estudo, pretendeu-se verificar e contextualizar uma nova realidade europeia no contexto da promoção e difusão de artistas e espetáculos, com impacto, ainda, ao nível da criação. As novas orientações rumo à perspetiva transnacional levam a uma tendência de criação de redes e parcerias, mas qual o papel das redes? Com recurso à compilação bibliográfica, pretendeu-se reunir as condições necessárias para a compressão do estado da arte e da criação artística para o espaço público.Understanding the current European reality in the field of artistic creation for the public space is becoming more pertinent at a time when new areas of artistic creation are gaining space in the European agenda. With the development of this study, it was intended to verify and contextualize a new European reality in the domains of promotion and diffusion of artists and performances, with impact, at the creation level. The new orientations towards the transnational perspective lead to a trend to create networks and partnerships, but what is the role of networks today? By bibliographical compilation, it was intended to gather the necessary information for the understanding of the state of art from artistic creation to public space.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
