Presentation to the press and to the artistic community of the TKB project and website. At 7pm, S. Luiz Theatre, Lisbon.

"The Knowledge Base for Performing Arts (TKA) is an interactive digital archive of the creative processes of choreographers, directors and performers. It was established as a platform for artists interested in sharing their creative processes, working methods or finished pieces in the performing arts. In the Knowledge-Base each artist can upload multimedia files and chose how they appear connected to other artists by adding tags to their own material. TKB is hosted by FCSH at NOVA (tkb.fcsh.unl. pt) and was funded by Fundação da Ciência e Tecnologia and the Europeana-Space project."

Conference Multimodal Communication: Language, Performance and Digital Media

CCB, Lisbon

 

The Conference was organized in the framework of the TKB research project conclusion and aimed to: present the results and software tools developed during the TKB project; provide a multidisciplinary forum for researchers from different disciplines and artists interested in the documentation of Performing Arts (with a focus on contemporary theatrical dance and Performance), as well as in issues of multimodality in human communication and in human-computer interaction, particularly regarding video annotation tools and collaborative platforms for cultural heritage preservation. It was organized by the FCSH and the FCT of Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal.

The event brought together contemporary artists and researchers from a broad range of academic disciplines, working within different theoretical and methodological paradigms in a creative, internationally oriented, and stimulating atmosphere. The importance of multimodal communication and creativity is now generally recognised by researchers from either the Humanities, Information Technologies or Cognitive Science. The conference therefore offered an opportunity to present and learn about research findings concerning human behaviour and agency in different types of communication and their cognitive, cultural, narrative, technological, social, textual or discourse functions.
