- Safara - Sonho Lúcido 2020: Investigação baseada na prática artísticaPublication . Perfeito, A.; Tavares, MirianO presente texto debruça-se sobre a performance de live cinema “Safara — Sonho Lúcido 2020”. Trata-se de uma curta-metragem com uma performer (que se encontra em frente da projeção) a manipular os elementos áudio e visuais em tempo real — recorrendo às técnicas e ferramentas do género Veejaying (um computador e um controlador MIDI), à música generativa e a uma narração ao vivo. Os conteúdos visuais são: fotografias analógicas (formato 35mm que foram posteriormente digitalizadas); textos animados; efeitos visuais áudio reativos. O resultado é um espetáculo imersivo no qual o espetador assiste a um filme, com a particularidade de a personagem principal estar fora do ecrã (a performer). O processo de criação artística — que descrevemos em detalhe neste documento — foi baseado no conceito de narração cinematográfica para Syd Field, sobre psicologia dos sonhos lúcidos e, por último, sobre reflexões de autores do século XX que associavam o fluxo do funcionamento da mente ao fluxo do cinema.
- Moda Vestra – um espetáculo de cinema ao vivo no AlgarvePublication . Perfeito, A.; Silva, Bruno Mendes da“Moda Vestra” is a collective of artists from the Algarve, who perform visuals and music in realtime. They play classical instruments like accordion and bass guitar, and use computer softwares and interfaces for the electronic music and live visuals. We define this language as Live Cinema. Live because both musicians and visual artist are performing in realtime, and cinema because there is a story to tell the audience, using images in movement with sound. This article has two main objectives. First is to draw a state of the art related to this phenomenon known as Live Cinema, that crosses with genres such as audiovisual performance and concepts such as realtime. The second aims to analyse the concept, the morphology and the work’s methodology of “Moda Vestra collective. Which also became a phenomenon because of their alternative way of telling stories from a stage.
- Live cinema: composing linear narratives through untouchable interfaces and the performers' body movementsPublication . Mendes da Silva, Bruno; Caeiro Perfeito, Ana de JesusThis paper discusses the concept of "live cinema" — a sub-genre of digital media art — through the ideas and perspectives of theoretical authors, from the silent film era to the digital media art era. It reflects on issues relating to narratives and interactivity, analyzing four works of live cinema: Super Everything, Massive Attack vs Adam Curtis, Moda Vestra and Safara — Lucid Dream 2020. By way of comparison, the same issues are addressed in three artistic projects from other subgenres of digital media art: Cadavre Exequis (interactive film), Stephen Kloss (audiovisual performance), Hantrakul & Kaczmarek (electronic music). The author proposes to develop a theoretical basis of reference, to compose linear narratives in live cinema performances, through untouchable interfaces and the performers' body movements. The present study is the intermediate results of a PhD thesis, with a practice-based research methodology in artistic practice.
- A live cinema performance: Playing a linear narrative through soundscapesPublication . Caeiro Perfeito, Ana de Jesus; Mendes da Silva, BrunoThe aim of this article is to document part of the creative process of the live cinema work Safara—Lucid Dream 2020, an audiovisual show that represents the experience of a lucid dream and consists of a performer, in front of a film projection, manipulating the audiovisual elements using analogue and digital interfaces. It is an art and research project in development since 2020, and in this documented phase the author introduces soundscapes to complete the work in terms of sound and narrative, and we question whether it is possible to improvise in live sound samples while maintaining the continuity of the film’s story. The research methodology is based on artistic practice, and we present a state- of-theart study on the following concepts: sound art, soundscape, sound field recording and soundscape composition. The practical work was carried out with the financial support of government institutions and the technical and production support of a non-profit cultural association.
- Desenvolvimento de um sistema de interatividade intocável para a performance de live cinema: SSL2020Publication . Caeiro Perfeito, Ana de JesusO presente artigo relata o processo de criação de um sistema de interatividade intocável para a performance de live cinema SSL2020. Esse sistema possibilita a performer de interagir ao vivo com os elementos áudio e visuais da obra, assim como de manipular a narrativa do filme, através dos movimentos corporais. Utilizou-se um periférico computacional que deteta os gestos das mãos, um software de programação visual para a criação do projeto, e uma interface intermédia que atua como um controlador digital. O conjunto destas tecnologias forma um sistema que não necessita de toque direto nos objetos para funcionar durante a performance.
