- Proceedings of the Tell.Me 2026. 3rd International Symposium on Biographical Narratives in Arts, Media and SocietyPublication . Marcos, Adérito; Pereira, Selma; Maneira, António; AntónioThe proceedings of Tell.Me 2026 – 3rd International Symposium on Biographical Narratives in Arts, Media, and Society present a curated collection of the scientific and artistic contributions to be presented during the upcoming symposium, scheduled to take place online on 28 and 29 May 2026. This edition is the result of a significant tripartite collaboration involving institutions in Macau (University of Saint Joseph), Portugal (ISMAT and CICANT), and Brazil (University of São Paulo), uniting a global community of scholars, artists, and practitioners. The volume explores the shifting landscape of the "biographical" in an age defined by algorithmic mediation and rapid digital circulation. Centred on the theme The Power of Biographical Narratives, the contributors move beyond traditional autobiography to examine how documentary, sonic, and hybrid storytelling practices reshape our understanding of identity and memory. These studies do more than describe contemporary culture; they problematize the ethical tensions of authorship, authenticity, and representational agency inherent in modern, participatory media. A recurring theme throughout the volume is the notion that, within our current digital ecosystem, narrative, media, and society do not merely transmit meaning, but actively co-create it. As biographical stories unfold across increasingly networked and interactive formats, they challenge traditional notions of authority and enable the democratisation of narration. By embracing these evolving forms, the collected works position storytelling not merely as a way to preserve the past but as a living, participatory process that actively negotiates and redefines both individual and collective identities.
- The mountain knows who you are: visual storytelling through autoethnographyPublication . Šnajberková, Jaroslava; Bidarra, José; Tavares, MirianThis paper discusses the concept of autoethnography used in doctoral research on digital media arts, based on long-term photographic fieldwork in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. The paper argues that photographic practice and scientific inquiry are forms of knowledge production embedded in landscape and interconnected lived experiences. The mountain landscape is considered a living being by local communities. Places called ‘ezuamas’ function as interwoven realities that preserve memory and are sources of ancestral teaching. Human activity exists in a network connecting people with the environment and spiritual forces. Similarly, various roles, from photographer and artist to researcher, converge in the figure of the author, and ultimately motherhood fundamentally influences the course and outcome of the research. The paper also suggests possible resonances between analogue photographic processes and digital logic. Interviews with local participants revealed parallel perspectives in which technologies may be understood as manifestations of pre-existing cosmological principles. The project was divided into two phases, fieldwork and post-production. The narrative component combines analogue black-and-white photography and digital colour audiovisual material with autobiographical notes written during stays in the region between 2019 and 2022, with subsequent analytical reflections during data processing between 2022 and 2026.
- Na senda das dimensões da média-arte digital nas narrativas biográficas em Macau: uma perspetiva à luz da diversidade culturalPublication . Pereira, Selma; Marcos, Adérito; Ferreira, Ricardo AlexinoO conceito de identidade narrativa como uma construção psicológica ilustra o papel da narrativa biográfica na formação e reformulação da identidade de uma pessoa. A narrativa é um elemento fundamental para a aquisição de conhecimentos e a construção da identidade. O exercício da narração envolve a co-construção e a resposta aos outros numa relação dialógica, o que aumenta a consciência e a identidade individual e coletiva. As narrativas (auto)biográficas pessoais, quando assumem uma natureza digital e potencialmente interativa, podem funcionar como ferramentas comunitárias que reforçam a identificação étnico-cultural e sociocultural. Neste artigo, os autores refletem sobre a sua abordagem ao estudo das narrativas (auto)biográficas audiovisuais. Concentram-se nas narrativas publicadas ou partilhadas nas redes sociais e examinam as suas dimensões à luz da média-arte digital, bem como o seu cariz sociocultural intervencionista.
- Digital narratives as academic projects for resilient and culturally sustainable online teachingPublication . Maneira, António; Pereira, Selma; Marcos, AdéritoDigital narratives are gaining prominence in academic settings, demonstrating clear advantages for enriching learning environments and fostering deeper engagement, particularly in online education. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for strategically employing digital narratives to cultivate vibrant learning communities through meaningful cultural exchange and to integrate individual perspectives into a broader, interconnected global context. Investigating the nuanced role of personal digital narratives in e-learning, we underscore their significant potential to foster inclusive pedagogical approaches that champion cultural sustainability, promote intercultural understanding, and bolster resilience in the face of globalization’s challenges. Drawing upon a comprehensive and critical review of existing literature, an insightful analysis of student-created projects, and direct feedback from student participants, this study robustly highlights digital storytelling's capacity to facilitate deeper and more empathetic cultural understanding, safeguard intangible cultural heritage by providing platforms for its expression, and shape both individual and collective identities within a globalized world. We advocate for the thoughtful and ethical integration of digital narratives to transform online higher education, fostering more impactful, culturally sensitive, and ultimately transformative learning experiences in globally connected and multicultural learning environments. Additionally, the study examines the growing potential of accessible technologies and AI-assisted pedagogical tools to enhance creativity, inclusion, and reflective practice in online higher education. We advocate for the thoughtful and ethical integration of digital narratives to transform online higher education, fostering more impactful, culturally sensitive, and ultimately transformative learning experiences in globally connected and multicultural learning environments.

- Hands: reimaginando as tradições artesanais e a expressão urbanaPublication . Marcos, Adérito; Pereira, SelmaEste artigo propõe um artefacto que incorpora a dualidade entre a virtualização da obra de arte e a tangibilidade das tradições artesanais urbanas. “Hands” faz parte de uma série de artefactos que reinterpretam as tradições do artesanato têxtil no contexto urbano contemporâneo, alinhando com uma abordagem estética pós-digital. Ao tirar partido da rematerialização e da capacidade do digital para preservar e amplificar o património imaterial, esta obra procura promover um diálogo entre tradição e inovação, sublinhando a importância da arte têxtil como meio de reflexão e preservação cultural no ambiente pós-digital.
- Feminist reflections on digital media art and urban studies for inclusive citiesPublication . Carvalho, Isabel CristinaThis article critically examines the intersection of digital media art and urban studies through a feminist lens to co-create more inclusive cities. It focuses on the potential of digital art practices to stimulate women's active engagement in the critical analysis of urban space, thereby supporting participatory urban design. It highlights the opportunities offered by digital media art practices and how they can address the challenges women face on a daily basis, empowering them to express, create and collaborate freely. The study underscores how digital media art practices can counteract daily challenges faced by women, enabling them to express themselves, create, and collaborate freely. It stresses the significance of artistic practices that inspire critical spatial thinking, inciting women to recognise, challenge, and query restrictive social norms in public spaces. As the digital gender gap is one of the main obstacles to women's participation in the digital plan, we point out examples that simultaneously develop urban interventions for women's empowerment and promote digital literacy. Collaborative and participatory artistic interventions are highlighted, which develop mappings of urban experiences, often invisibilised, showing the importance of data visualisation by gender. The main theories and practices that emphasise the inclusion of gender perspectives in the configuration of cities and a reflection on digital media art interventions within and in urban space are presented. Digital media art, when integrated into feminist urban studies, shows potentiality for the identification of weaknesses and co-creation of solutions and innovations for contemporary urban challenges.
- Olhares subjetivos: a videoarte como espelho da cultura e da performance artísticaPublication . Veiga, Pedro Alves da; Henriques, Pedro; Sá, Alberto; Gaudêncio, Susana; Olivero, LucasEste artigo propõe o conceito de videoarte documental, através da análise do papel da subjetividade em obras videográficas de cariz documental, enquanto registo de performances artísticas e culturais, ao demonstrar como a perspetiva autoral pode valorizar este tipo de registo e ampliar os seus horizontes interpretativos. Através de uma abordagem teórica e da análise de três estudos de caso, Moon Moth Bed de Virginia L. Montgomery, A Love Song for Latasha de Sophia Nahli Allison, e Consonant Camera de E. V. Aleksandrov, explora-se como a videoarte articula fidelidade documental, narrativa poética e inovação estética. O conceito de Consonant Camera, a criação de memórias visuais fragmentadas e a utilização de metáforas naturais exemplificam estratégias que integram ética, criatividade e sensibilidade cultural. Argumenta-se que a videoarte, ao ultrapassar as fronteiras entre a arte e o documento, constitui um meio essencial para a preservação do património cultural imaterial e para a construção de narrativas que combinam reflexão crítica e experiência estética.
- “UrdiSynth42” e a tecelagem figitalPublication . Caldeira, Nelson; Veiga, Pedro Alves da; Cordeiro, JoaoO presente estudo aborda o desafio contemporâneo da arte digital na preservação da autenticidade cultural, procurando conciliar a inovação tecnológica com a continuidade histórica. Defende-se que a virtualização, compreendida como um deslocamento identitário para potenciais expressivos, constitui um fenómeno cultural contínuo, presente muito antes da era digital. Utilizando as Tapeçarias de Portalegre como caso paradigmático, este trabalho identifica cinco dimensões históricas de transcodificação; dimensional, material, técnica, temporal e interpretativa, que antecipam métodos da arte digital contemporânea. Apresenta-se o conceito de arte figital, que estabelece uma gramática híbrida temporal, combinando os ritmos dos ambientes online e offline. Neste contexto, o framework "UrdiSynth42" propõe uma arquitetura hierárquica de quatro camadas, Perceção, Cognição, Expressão e Coordenação; que operacionaliza a virtualização histórica através de visão por computador, machine learning e síntese generativa. A utilização estratégica de tecnologias como Docker assegura a preservação digital e cultural. O estudo confirma que a virtualização histórica não representa uma rutura tecnológica, mas sim uma evolução, oferecendo uma base robusta para futuras práticas artísticas que visem respeitar as tradições culturais, ao mesmo tempo que exploram novas possibilidades tecnológicas.
- Angústia: uma análise autoetnográfica e fenomenológica da documentação da subjetividade através da Inteligência ArtificialPublication . Henriques, Pedro; Veiga, Pedro Alves da; Osório, António; Reis, SérgioThis article examines the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the creative process behind the short film Angústia, highlighting the role of Generative AI in documenting subjective concepts. It explores the intersection of technology and artistic expression, focusing on the challenges and opportunities of human-machine collaboration. The study employs an autoethnographic approach, where the author reflects on personal experiences with AI tools, alongside a phenomenological perspective that examines the creative process of generating prompts and video sequences. By combining these methods, the research aims to assess the influence of AI on artistic decision-making and its role in shaping audiovisual narratives.
