SUMMARY:Media Innovation Circle #22 What goes around comes around. A tale of artificial intelligence
DESCRIPTION:What goes around comes around. A tale of artificial intelligence\nA talk with Prof. Xabier Martinez Rolan\nBio: PhD in Communication from the University of Vigo (2016) and Professor at the same university. His academic and professional career focuses on the field of online communication\, the development of interactive projects and the world of digital marketing. He teaches subjects related to web development\, digital communication and online marketing.\n\n\nAbstract: This talk will address the saying “what goes around comes around” from a contemporary perspective\, relating it to the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It will discuss how our decisions and actions\, in the context of AI\, can have significant repercussions\, both positive and negative. Ethical and practical issues will be explored\, including responsibility in the development and application of AI\, as well as the possible associated risks. Through a narrative approach\, the aim will be to illustrate these concepts in an accessible and reflective way. The talk invites reflection on how we can more consciously navigate the current technological landscape to shape an ethical and equitable future in the field of AI.

SUMMARY:Media Innovation Circle #21 Good practices in public health in Instagram: Comparative study between Portugal and Brazil
DESCRIPTION:Good practices in public health in Instagram: Comparative study between Portugal and Brazil\nSpeaker: Pâmela Pinto\, University of Aveiro\nModeration: Maria João Antunes\, University of Aveiro\nZoom link: https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/96962919107…\n\n\nPâmela Araujo Pinto got her graduation in Journalism at the Universidade Federal do Maranhão (2007)\, and her Master’s Degree and Ph.D. in Communication\, in Universidade Federal Fluminense (2010 and 2015). She also works as a journalist for the Ministery of Health\, in Brazil (2012 – until now). Currently\, she conducts her Post-Doctoral research at the Department of Communication and Art (University of Aveiro). Her research interests are related to ‘communication and public health’\, ‘institutional communication and social media’ \, with emphasis on Instagram.\nAbstract\nThe main message of the book is to value the citizen as the center of the communication produced on health\, anchored in the public interest and in the quest to broaden social participation. The guide has put together four axes of suggestions for producing content: on the approach – based on scientific knowledge and accessibility; on the use of images\, with an emphasis on infographics; on the clarity of texts and on the importance of interaction with citizens and influencers. Strategies for planning and monitoring profiles are also presented. The research provided a critical reflection on health consumption on Instagram\, a private platform based on commercial interests.

SUMMARY:Media Innovation Circle #20 Advertising and the digital: The good\, the bad and the unknown
DESCRIPTION:Advertising and the digital: The good\, the bad and the unknown\nSpeaker: Dennis Olsen\, University of West London (UK)\nModeration: Catarina Lélis\, University of Aveiro (PT)\n\n\nDr Dennis Olsen is Associate Professor of Advertising and Branding at the University of West London\, UK. His interdisciplinary work is framed by sociological\, cultural\, and psychological perspectives. Before joining the University of West London\, Dennis worked for several years as a Strategic Planner in a multinational communications and advertising agency. His research interests revolve around EDI campaigns\, audience insight and shifting consumer behaviours. Dennis’ research has been funded\, i.a.\, by the British Academy\, the Leverhulme Trust\, the History of Advertising Trust and the Centre for Ageing Better.\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\nHow does digital impact the creation and consumption of promotional content? Do new media technologies empower or debilitate advertisers and audiences? How inclusive are emerging technologies in the context of promotional communications?\nThe advertising industry has a long tradition of embracing digital as a means of tailoring and amplifying its messages. Yet the implications of new media technologies is oftentimes not fully appreciated by either brands or advertising professionals. This talk explores a selection of emerging technologies and their current and potential use in advertising. It focuses on the intersection of media technologies and promotional communications\, and shines a light at some ‘off-label’ uses of advertising and the digital.

SUMMARY:Media Innovation Circle #15 Narrative orchestration based virtual environments for training
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Domitile Lourdeaux\, Alliance Sorbonne Université\, Université de technologie de Compiègne – France\nModeration: Carlos Santos\, DigiMedia\, University of Aveiro\n\n\nVirtual environments allow trainees to experiment\, practice and see the impact of their decisions. In crisis management training\, in order to facilitate learning through personal experience\, it is necessary to confront the trainees with a wide variety of situations adapted to their level. To support this type of learning\, writing scenarios requires significant work.\nOne of the Interactive Narrative challenges is to be able to dynamically orchestrate these environments. In this presentation\, we will present an orchestration system aiming at a set of objectives often considered as contradictory: freedom of action\, the dynamic character and the effectiveness of the control of the scenario\, the consistency of behaviors\, the explicability of behaviors and the adaptability of the system. To maintain freedom of action and ensure the adaptability and explainability of behaviors\, we dynamically and automatically generate training situations from knowledge models that underlie the simulation. We hypothesize that it is the generative power that will achieve the variability and resilience objectives. However\, the more a system is generative\, the more difficult it is to obtain scenarios faithful to the intention of the author (narrative paradox).\nWe will present a computational orchestration model reifying cognitive models\, learning theories and narrative theories. Our model combines symbolic (knowledge models\, planning) and numerical (probabilistic approaches\, belief functions) artificial intelligence approaches.\n\n\nShort Bio\nDomitile Lourdeaux is Full Professor at Alliance Sorbonne Université\, Université de technologie de Compiègne\, CNRS Heudiasyc. Her research interests are Artificial Intelligence based Virtual Environments for training. She is vice-president of the French Association for Artificial Intelligence and coordinator of the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science specialty in Université de technologie de Compiègne. She was a member of the National University Committee (CNU) between 2013 and 2019. She coordinated several national projects: ANR VICTEAMS (training of teams to rescue the injured)\, ANR NIKITA (aeronautical training)\, ANR V3S (training on high-risk sites) and RIAM APLG (monitoring in virtual reality)\, She is scientific manager for the CNRS of the European H2020 INFINITY (coupling of virtual reality and artificial intelligence tools for the investigation of data in the fight against crime and terrorism).

SUMMARY:Media Innovation Circle #9 and the topic Empathic experiential design with playful and gameful inspirations
DESCRIPTION:The Media Innovation Circle#9 took place on February 25 with a talk by Sylvester Arnab\, Coventry University (UK)  followed by a participated discussion on the topic “Empathic experiential design with playful and gameful inspirations”\, moderated by Ana Veloso (DigiMedia/UA). \nThe video is already available on DigiMedia YouTube channel. Watch HERE. We invite you to subscribe the channel. \nSylvester Arnab is a Professor of Games Science at the Disruptive Media Learning Lab and an associate of the Centre for Post-digital Cultures at Coventry University\, UK. His research focuses on the investigation into engaging\, empathic\, and empowering experiences through the lens of playful and gameful design practices. Sylvester is a co-founder of multi-award winning GameChangers initiative\, which has been adapted in Malaysia and is currently being expanded into Vietnam and Indonesia towards responding to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Sylvester has published a book on ‘Game Science in Hybrid Learning Spaces’\, which provides insights into the research and practice of purposeful game design with a focus on hybrid education. For more information click here. \nAbstract \nOur relationships with experiential artefacts such as games are evolving\, where games and gameplay are becoming more pervasive in our daily lives. As serious outcomes are achieved through game-based experiences\, it is essential to ensure a more empathic approach that would be co-creative and participatory towards onboarding practitioners into the design process. This talk draws from existing research\, development\, and practice under the multi-award winning GameChangers initiative that focuses on the onboarding of educators into the co-creation of playful and gameful experiences for achieving purposeful outcomes.

SUMMARY:Media Innovation Circle #8 and the topic There is a future for TV
DESCRIPTION:The Media Innovation Circle#8 took place on January 28 with a talk by Guido Lemos\, Federal University of Paraíba – UFPB (Brazil)  followed by a participated discussion on the topic “There is a future for TV”\, moderated by Jorge Ferraz de Abreu (DigiMedia/UA). \nThe video is already available on DigiMedia YouTube channel. Watch HERE. We invite you to subscribe the channel. \nGuido Lemos is full Professor in the Department of Computer Systems at the Informatic Center at the Federal University of Paraíba (DI-CI-UFPB) holds a Ph.D. in Informatics from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RIO). Coordinates LAVID (Center for Research and Extension in Digital Video Applications)\, where he researches the following topics: digital television\, digital cinema\, distributed multimedia applications\, video distribution networks\, distributed artistic performances\, accessibility\, telehealth\, and blockchain applications. Worked on developing the Ginga middleware\, published as ITU-T and ITU-R Recommendations\, and adopted as a standard in the Brazilian Digital Television System and in several countries in Latin America\, whose implementation runs on about 100 million TV devices. He drove the expansion of UFPB\, foreseeing the increase from 20 to 45 thousand in undergraduate and graduate students. He also serves as a member of the Deliberative Council of the Brazilian Digital Television System Forum and a guest of Ancine’s Technical Accessibility Chamber. \nAbstract \nWith recent changes in the way media is distributed\, delivered today anywhere\, anytime\, on any device; is there still room for television systems with live content distribution from one to millions? What was the value of a mass communication system like TV in the past? Will this value be preserved in the future with communication systems promising to offer 10 Gbps transmission rate\, density of 1 million devices per Km2\, 1 mS delays with support for differentiated service and broadcast? How is the television business reacting to survive? These and other questions will be the subject of this talk.

SUMMARY:Media Innovation Circle #7 and the topic Thinking / Creating / Rethinking / Recreating – Computers and the Arts
DESCRIPTION:The Media Innovation Circle#7 took place on December 17 with a talk by Mario Verdicchio\, School of Engineering – University of Bergamo (Italy)  followed by a participated discussion on the topic “Thinking / Creating / Rethinking / Recreating – Computers and the Arts”\, moderated by Pedro Cardoso (DigiMedia/UA). \nThe video is already available on DigiMedia YouTube channel. Watch HERE. We invite you to subscribe the channel. \nMario Verdicchio is a researcher at the School of Engineering at the University of Bergamo in Italy and a member of the Berlin Ethics Lab at the Technical University of Berlin in Germany. He is the co-founder of the xCoAx international conference series on Computation\, Communication\, Aesthetics and X. He has written mostly about Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence and has been a Sunday artist for some years. \nAbstract \nComputer Art has now made amazing strides in comparison with its beginnings of the 1950s\, at least from a technological point of view.\nSuch evolution must have also guaranteed a transformation in the creative processes in the arts\, but whether such change has led to answers to the long-standing questions on creativity\, authorship and the meaning of art remains to be seen. Actually\, the more in-depth one goes in thinking of Information Technology and its impacts on society in general\, the more doubts seem to emerge on the role it plays within artistic and cultural contexts. This talk takes a critical view on technological enhancements with the goal of shedding light on what it means to use computers for artistic purposes.

SUMMARY:Media Innovation Circle #6 and the topic Asymmetrical cooperative play: Doing (international) game research from the fringes
DESCRIPTION:The Media Innovation Circle#6 took place on November 26 with a talk by Víctor Navarro Remesal\, Tecnocampus Mataró-Maresme Foundation (Spain)\,  followed by a participated discussion on the topic “Asymmetrical cooperative play: Doing (international) game research from the fringes”\, moderated by Liliana Costa (DigiMedia/UA). \nThe video is already available on DigiMedia YouTube channel. Watch HERE. We invite you to subscribe the channel. \nVíctor Navarro-Remesal is a media scholar specialized in games. He teaches History of Videogames and Interactive Narrative at Tecnocampus\, Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Game Design at UOC. He’s the author of ‘Libertad dirigida: Una gramática del análisis y diseño de videojuegos’ (Shangrila\, 2016) and ‘Cine Ludens: 50 diálogos entre el juego y el cine’ (Editorial UOC\, 2019)\, as well as the editor of ‘Pensar el juego. 25 caminos para los game studies’ (Shangrila\, 2020). His research interests are player freedom\, Zen-inspired games and slow gaming\, gêmu\, and game preservation. He is one of the founding members of DIGRA Spain. His current funded project is ‘LUDOMYTHOLOGIES: Myths and ideology in contemporary video game. \nAbstract \nAcademia is by definition an international enterprise. The search and construction of knowledge cannot be attained by one individual alone\, not by a closed community. This is specially important when dealing with games and video games\, cultural objects that come from industries that were transnational from their inceptions. But this internationality can overshadow the idiosyncrasies of the local and how local spaces come together to form uneven international networks. The interest of this presentation\, motivated by the foundation of the Spanish chapter of DiGRA and the coming release of the book “Perspectives on the European Videogame”\, is to explore the state of game studies\, or game research\, as a field from this perspective: how exactly is it international? What are the ways in which we can play it as a cooperative play and how we are made to compete? How can we be aware of the asymmetries in the design of this cooperative play\, and can they be played to our collective advantage? And what does it mean to be in the “fringes” (geographically\, linguistically\, conceptually) of game studies?

He is also a visual artist\, and his works have been shown in Atlanta\, Paris\, Istanbul\, Seoul\, Copenhagen and Porto. His latest artwork\, The Multiple Lives of Walter B. is a physical installation that explores virtual biographies of Walter Benjamin. \nAbstract \nSo far\, interactive digital narratives have not yet gained full recognition as both a field of scholarly inquiry and a developed professional practice. After more than five decades of practice as well as a history of scholarly enquiry that can be traced back to at least 1985\, this is a perplexing situation. In my talk\, I will consider reasons for the status quo\, consider current initiatives including ARDIN and INDCOR and propose avenues for future work.

DESCRIPTION:The DigiMedia Dialogs#3 took place on July 9 with the talks of Raissa Sales (DigiMedia PhD Student)\, Vania Baldi (DigiMedia Researcher) and Lídia Oliveira (DigiMedia Researcher)\, followed by a participated discussion on the topic Research in times of platformization: opportunities and methodological challenges in the analysis of digital sharing economy services. \n  \nRaissa Sales is a PhD student in Information and Communication at the University of Aveiro (2016). Master in Business Administration from the Postgraduate Program in Business Administration (PPGA)\, Marketing line\, University of Fortaleza – UNIFOR. Graduated in Social Communication – Journalism (2009) and specialist in Communication Counseling (2011) by the same Institution. \n  \n  \n  \nVania Baldi is an Assistant Professor at the University of Aveiro\, has a degree in Sociology from La Sapienza University of Roma\, has a master’s degree in “Identité et Unité de l’homme” (CETSAH/EHESS/CNRS\, France) and Phd in “Ethics and Anthropology” from the University of Salento (Italia). His research interests are related with Network Society\, Hypermediated Space and Civic Media\, Affordance of Algorithms in Our Lives\, relationship between Immediacy and Hypermediacy in Digital Culture\, Culture and Imaginary of Consumption\, Anthropology and Epistemology of Technique\, Spreadable Media among Open Innovation and InfoWar\, Engagement and Authorship in WebDoc\, Analysis of Discourses on Technological Innovations. \n  \n  \n \n  \nLídia Oliveira (full name: Lídia de Jesus Oliveira Loureiro da Silva) holds a degree in Philosophy from the University of Coimbra (1990)\, a Master’s degree in Educational Technology from the University of Aveiro\, in partnership with the University of Valenciennes (France) and Mons (Belgium) (1995)\, and a PhD in Communication Sciences and Technologies  from the University of Aveiro (2002). \n\nHer research focuses on individual\, collective and institutional behaviour on the internet. The areas of interest are: Social Network Analysis\, Cyberculture Studies\, Sociology of Communication\, Science and Technologies of Communication\, ICT and Education\, Multimedia\, Information Systems\, Digital Libraries\, Science Communication\, Communication in the Scientific Community (theoretical and empirical studies). \n\n  \nAbstract: \nhe creation and development of digital platforms dedicated to the sharing economy have generated discussions about some economic implications in the markets where it operates and social implications within the scope of its users’ experiences. In addition to the existence of a great diversity of digital services for the sharing of goods and services\, the platformization of social experience opens the way to a new set of research practices. In fact\, if the functioning of some platforms can limit researchers’ knowledge about intermediation phenomena\, at the same time\, the researcher’s skill can make some of their functionalities profitable by combining opportune methods and techniques.

SUMMARY:Media Innovation Circle #4 and the topic Ways of Seeing and Hearing: Representational Limits in Two Docweb Case Studies by Diego Zavala Scherer
DESCRIPTION:The Media Innovation Circle#4 took place on July 23 with a talk by Diego Zavala Scherer\, Professor at the Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico)\,  followed by a participated discussion on the topic “Ways of Seeing and Hearing: Representational Limits in Two Docweb Case Studies”\, moderated by Pedro Cardoso\, a DigiMedia Researcher. \nThe video is already available on DigiMedia YouTube channel. Watch HERE. We invite you to subscribe the channel. \nDiego Zavala Scherer\, Mexico City (1978) holds a PhD in Social Communication at Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona\, Spain). Research professor at Tecnologico de Monterrey\, Mexico. His research interests are interactive documentary\, documentary theory and Mexican film. Member of the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT\, Mexico). Coordinator of the Research Group in Media\, Arts and Digital Culture at Tecnologico de Monterrey. Director of Virtualis\, Digital Communication Journal. \nAbstract \nAs part of the contemporary discussion between the representational (Nichols) and operational modes (Farocki\, Mittell) of understanding images (and sound) in documentary and interactive documentary theory\, this talk questions the limits of the indexical link with reality through two doc web examples. The interest of this presentation is to explore some of the paradoxes that interactive nonfiction production creates by following the canonic perspective of a verisimilar bond with the world and how\, in the times of media hyperproduction\, this relation between reality and image fells short to explain our ways of engaging as individuals\, public\, and consumers with some dimensions of our life such as history and politics.

SUMMARY:Media Innovation Circle #3 and the topic Designing for play with physical and digital media: from tools and methods to approach and mindset by Eva Brooks
DESCRIPTION:The Media Innovation Circle#3 took place on June 25 with a talk by Eva Brooks\, Professor of Digital Media at University of Aalborg (Denmark)\,  followed by a participated discussion on the topic “Designing for play with physical and digital media: from tools and methods to approach and mindset”\, moderated by Mónica Aresta\, a DigiMedia Researcher. \nThe video is already available on DigiMedia YouTube channel. Watch HERE. We invite you to subscribe the channel. \nEva Brooks is Professor in IT-based Design\, Learning and Innovation at the Department of Culture and Learning\, Aalborg University\, Denmark. She is the Director of the research laboratory Xlab – Design\, Learning\, Innovation. Her research has a design focus on social interaction\, and the use and development of digital technology and their implications for play and learning. Her research also includes an innovation dimension\, where she applies a design-oriented approach to co-creative processes with children. She has been involved in several research projects concerning children’s participation\, play\, and learning in state-of-the-art technology settings; for example\, related to computational thinking\, digital play\, and digital game-based interactions. Currently\, her research also has a focus on teachers’ professional digital competence grounded in creative workshops where the learning is participative\, collaborative and peer oriented. \nAbstract: The presentation focuses on the question of how collaborative explorations as a method and mindset can inform the design of media technology to reinforce innovative play and learning. The research laboratory Xlab – design\, learning\, innovation will be introduced addressing its work on enhancing children’s participation and collaboration through exploration\, with aims of achieving pedagogical innovation and change. At the same time\, the intent is to support researchers and practitioners to find new problems and understandings of educational practices for exploration and pedagogical innovations as a foundation for design of media technology. This work\, which relies upon insights gained during empirical work with children for several decades\, has resulted in a workshop methodology that combines principles and approaches from co-design and playful learning. The methodology reinforces children’s creativity\, imagination\, and social interaction with peers during collaborative tasks and represents a new approach to involve children in the design of media innovations. Thus\, the presentation recommends guidelines for designing interactions that include media technology to foster creative expressions in children\, highlighting the role of collaborative explorations combining digital tools and a ‘making’ mindset where children can act as protagonists.

SUMMARY:Digimedia Dialogs#2 and the topic Bridging interaction and interfaces between the physical and the digital world
DESCRIPTION:The DigiMedia Dialogs#2 took place on June 11 with the talks of Joaquim Santos (DigiMedia PhD Student)\, Silvino Martins (DigiMedia PhD Student) and Rui Raposo (DigiMedia Researcher)\, followed by a participated discussion on the topic Bridging interaction and interfaces between the physical and the digital world\, moderated by Mário Vairinhos\, a DigiMedia Researcher. \n  \nJoaquim Santos holds a degree in New Communication Technologies (University of Aveiro  – 2009)\, a Post-Graduation in Digital Effects (Bournemouth University\, UK – 2011) and a Master’s degree in Multimedia Communication\, Interactive Multimedia branch (University of Aveiro – 2018). Currently a PhD student in Information and Communication in Digital Platforms at the University of Aveiro\, with the theme “Semi-autonomous and Secure Tangible Media Interface: A Framework and A Prototype for Children with Speech Sound Disorders to Use at Home” (Working title). FCT grant SFRH/BD/141119/2018 (October 2018 – December 2021) \n  \n  \nSilvino Martins holds a degree (University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro – 2014) and a Master’s degree (University of Aveiro – 2016)\, both in Multimedia Communication\,  the latter  in the Interactive Multimedia branch. His master’s thesis aimed at researching augmented reality applied to a surgical context and included the development and evaluation of technological prototypes in iteration with stakeholders. His main research interest lies in the field of HCI\, particularly in what concerns to user experience and interaction design in subjects such as mixed reality\, digital games\, tangible media and web. \n  \n  \n \n  \nRui Raposo: Currently an Assistant Professor within the field of Science and Technologies in Communication. His current research interests focus on issues related with UX and Mixed Realities in e-tourism\, cybermuseology and cultural contexts. He also develops practical research and supervises work in audiovisual content production with a special focus on documentaries. \n  \n  \nAbstract: \nIn a world where interaction with digital devices is inevitable\, interaction paradigms have led us in various directions but\, in most cases\, have seen little change since the 1980´s. What happens when we go beyond mediation through the\, widely known\, windows\, icons\, menus and pointing devices and bring the interaction with digital interfaces closer to our actions and behaviour in the physical world? \nThis talk will hopefully challenge and enable us to put into perspective various studies with different views on how extended reality has helped bridge the digital and physical realm and how it has found its way into specific use cases such as learning and therapeutic contexts.

SUMMARY:Media Innovation Circle #2 and the topic Virtual and Augmented Reality for Underwater Cultural Heritage by Fotis Liarokapis
DESCRIPTION:The Media Innovation Circle#2 took place on May 28 with a talk by Fotis Liarokapis\, Professor of VR\, AR and Games at University of Technology (Cyprus)\,  followed by a participated discussion on the topic “Virtual and Augmented Reality for Underwater Cultural Heritage”\, moderated by Mário Vairinhos\, a DigiMedia Researcher. \nThe video is already available on DigiMedia YouTube channel. Watch HERE. We invite you to subscribe the channel. \nDr. Fotis Liarokapis is currently working at the Research Centre on Interactive media\, Smart systems\, and Emerging technologies (CYENS – Centre of Excellence)\, Nicosia\, Cyprus. He received the D.Phil. degree from the University of Sussex\, U.K.\, and has worked as a Research Fellow with City University\, London\, U.K.\, Coventry University\, U.K.\, and most recently at Masaryk University\, Czech Republic\, where he was an Associate Professor and Director of the HCI Lab. Dr. Fotis Liarokapis has contributed to more than 140 refereed publications with more than 3430 citations (h-index: 33 and i10-index: 72). He has organised multiple conferences and workshops and he is the co-founder of the International Conference on Virtual Worlds and Games for Serious Applications (VS-Games). Currently\, he is the program co-chair of IEEE CoG 2021 and a member of IEEE. \nAbstract: The project iMARECULTURE (Advanced VR\, iMmersive Serious Games and Augmented REality as Tools to Raise Awareness and Access to European Underwater CULTURal heritage) is focusing in raising European identity awareness using maritime and underwater cultural interaction and exchange in Mediterranean Sea. The aim of the project is to bring inherently unreachable underwater cultural heritage within digital reach of the wide public using virtual visits and immersive technologies. This talk will present results in respect to virtual and augmented reality interfaces for underwater environments. In terms of virtual reality\, two different types of applications will be illustrated. The first one is a dry-visit solution for exploring ancient sites and it is focused on the general public. The second one is a serious game that aims in teaching maritime and archaeologist students the main principles of ‘site formation’\, ‘surveying’ and ‘excavation’. Moreover\, a novel augmented reality underwater interface will be presented which can detect square markers in poor visibility conditions as well as serve as virtual guide for divers that visit underwater archaeological sites. Evaluation results will be presented for all applications illustrating the effectiveness of the interfaces.
