PortugueseObjectives
The Art and Technology curricular unit proposes to map the space between art and technology in contemporary culture. This mapping will be developed together, taking as starting points contemporary art in the context of its articulations and the intersection of various theoretical and practical contexts. If we consider that there is no singular methodology for " making ", the current viability of the articulation of art with technique will be problematised from the relations of passion and disappointment, as well as through a variety of practices.
In this sense, the general objective of this curricular unit will be the reinvention and imagination of possible approaches to this articulation and the search for theoretical and practical responses.

Learning outcomes and competences
- Understand the complexity of the articulation between art and technology and detect many of the paradoxes immersed in culture.
- Test the space of tension that opens up between art and technology by placing objects in it. To test the current viability of this articulation (both in a practical sense and through practical work).
- To develop a critique of contemporary issues related to art and technology.
- To develop theoretical and reflective skills that manifest themselves in individual artistic practice.
- To develop artistic methodologies that articulate theory and practice.
Working method
PresencialProgram
The Art and Technology programme is developed around three major themes or SCALES that define the discussion and the work proposals. These themes are also the clues and tools for the various mappings:
SCALE 3: Beginning with an critical approach to contemporary culture, this course will discuss the tension between art and technique through concrete objects. Artistic objects certainly, but also technical and speculative objects. Place objects on the center — between eyes and hands — it's already an gesture that open up an experimental space.
SCALE 2: The second topic it’s about “art and media”, to think about articulations and mediations of artistic practices. What media? Pós-media? Without media? Questions that stimulate reflections about the work and the working tools in human behavior, as artistic prodution: "doing with... something".
SCALE 1: The third topic will focus on “gesture” and devices, considering “the act of doing with” as something relevant to think and to mapping, as well as a scale to understand artistic practices.
This struture set some kind of SCALE adjustment, from 3 to 1, beginning with a large scale sense to the minimum artistic gesture.

Extra bibliography will be attached , like particular literature and artistic objects that provide autonomouns study and sepeculations about indivudual and collective concerns.
This material will be display and shared online also as a platfom with editorial purposes.
Teaching methods and learning activities
This curricular unit, associated with its own making and practice, acquires an experimental dimension of methodologies and practices, as well as writing. It is developed in seminar format with the intense collaboration of all students.
The autonomous study of the themes and concepts of the programme will be the foundation and, above all, the stimulation of the brain and hands. This study is mandatory.
Based on discussions of the bibliography and the presentation of specific objects in class, work proposals will be launched in which the link between theory and practice is expected.
All proposals will be followed up, presented and discussed in class.
Use of lectures, including the autonomous study of the bibliography and the objects called for the development of the themes.
Development of a shared digital editing platform that builds and presents the "research universe" of the UC (theoretical and practical objects under discussion), but also of individual research.

Eligibility for exams
a ) Presentation and realisation of the 3 work proposals:Two collective entirely practical and quick answers (artistic practice presented in class that reacts to the theoretical studies and the discussion in class).
One individual theoretical-practical proposal (written work articulated with the work of the individual artistic practice).
b ) Attendance and participation, scientific interest and respect of deadlines.
Calculation formula of final grade
Practical proposals: 30% (there are two)Theoretical-practical proposal: 70% (35% theoretical work + 35% practical work, individual)
For the consideration of the value to be attributed to each of the work proposals, the following is considered:
Attendance,
Participation,
Fulfilment of deadlines.
