ArtsIT + DLI 2018
We are delighted to introduce the proceedings of the 7th European Alliance for
Innovation (EAI) International Conference on Arts and Technology, Interactivity, and
Game Creation (ArtsIT 2018) and the Third International Conference on Design,
Learning and Innovation (DLI 2018), held in Braga, Portugal, October 24–26, 2018.
ArtsIT,InteractivityandGameCreation2018wasmeanttobeaplacewherepeople
in the arts, with a keen interest in modern IT technologies, meet with people in IT,
havingstrongtiestotheartsintheirworks.Since2009,theeventhasbecomealeading
scientific forum for dissemination of cutting-edge research results in the area of arts,
design, and technology. The event also reflects the advances seen in the open related
topics of interactivity (interaction design, virtual reality, augmented reality, robotics,
etc.) and game creation (e.g., serious games, gamification, leisure gaming, gameplay,
etc.).
ArtsIT has been successfully co-located with the international conference for
Design, Learning and Innovation (DLI) since 2016.
Design, learning, and innovation frame the world of IT, opening doors into an
increasingly playful world. The DLI 2018 conference was driven by the belief that
tools, technologies, and environments, as well as content and approaches, can spark
and nurture a passion for learning, transforming domains such as education,
rehabilitation/therapy, work places, and cultural institutions. Design, learning, and
innovation are a powerful catalyst in empowering individuals to participate, commu-
nicate,andcreate,wherebytheycanexceedtheirownlimitsinaplayfulway.Making

Following the workshop, the welcome reception took place at Paço do Vitorino
(http://www.pacodevitorino.com),aheritagehotellocatedinPontedeLima,oneofthe
mostcharacterfulandcharmingtownsinnorthernPortugal.Thehouse,datingbackto
the XVI century, is a municipal monument that has undergone an innovative archi-
tectural intervention. The rehabilitation of Paço de Vitorino emerged out of the desire
to enhance the inherited patrimony, seeking to achieve a balance between recovering

that mime and mirror the history of Portugal. Paço de Vitorino impresses the visitor
because of the harmonious baroque ensemble that includes the chapel, the battlement
wall, the gate, and the expressiveness of the facades entering the yard, richly adorned
with elements of dressed granite. The monumental gardens, attributed to the Italian
master Nicolau Nasoni, were designed according to the baroque canons and include a
sophisticated and unique irrigation system as well as secular camellias.
The technical program of the collocated conferences ArtsIT 2018 and DLI 2018
included 40 full papers and five short papers in oral presentation sessions during the
main conference’s tracks and 13 poster and demo presentations. Aside from the
high-quality technical paper presentations, the technical program also featured three
keynote speeches. The three keynote speakers were Prof. Yvonne Rogers from the
UniversityCollegeLondon,Assoc.Prof.AnthonyL.Brooks,fromAalborgUniversity,
Denmark, and Prof. Anton Nijholt from the University of Twente, The Netherlands.
Thetechnicalprogramincludedthreeartsperformancesthatwereheldatthehistorical
Theatro Circo, namely, CO:LATERAL, NaN:Collider and ShellShock.
CO:LATERAL (Né Barros and João Martinho Moura, with Sónia Cunha/
2016–2018)
CO:LATERAL was developed from the Nuve artwork, a project for performance
and digital art. Initially presented in 2010, this solo interpreted by Né Barros was the
motif for several national and international publications. In Co:Lateral the body pro-
jected and extended itself in a relationship of intimacy with interactive virtual reality.
The performative discourse resulting from this connection calls for an extraordinary
moment, a poetic moment made of a mixture of realities, made of body, double and
images. Co:Lateral evokes moments of the death of the swan immersed in an imma-
terial space of light and projection: A phantom of the archive of dance now returns to
test itself in a reality of illusory imprisonment.

NaN:Collider (António Rafael, João Martinho Moura and Miguel Pedro.
2016–2018)
NaN:Collider + Miguel Pedro NaN Collider is an audiovisual performance, started
in2016byJoãoMartinhoMouraandAntónioRafael,devotedtothescience,arts,and
space exploration. NaN is a numeric data type value representing an undefined or
unpresentable value, something impossible to calculate. Collider refers to an opposite
concepttothat,somethingveryconcrete,usedasaresearchtoolinparticlephysicsby
accelerating particles to very high kinetic energy. On this project they invited Miguel
Pedro to work with them with sounds that result from a research process in experi-
mental electronic music developed at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Insti-

ShellShock (Doaa Darwish. 2018)
ShellShock is an experimental multimedia performance that explores trauma and
PTSD through human movement, by using motion-capture technology to generate
audiovisual content in real time. The project aims to explore different approaches to
combine digital media with theatre and Performing Arts. ShellShock is developed in
the Rhine-Waal University media labs in Kamp-Lintfort (Germany) under the super-
vision of Prof. Ido Iurgel.
Braga, a city where tradition and innovation meet, was inducted in 2017 into
UNESCO’s prestigious Creative City of Media Arts network (UCCN), a small selec-
tionof116citiesfrom54countries.CapitaloftheMinhoProvincewithapproximately
182,000inhabitants,BragaisoneofmostvibranttechnologyhubsinnorthPortugal.In
the late twentieth century, the city bore witness to a new generation of artists and
entrepreneurs that transformed the local creative ecosystem by combining art with
technology and innovation. Ever since, Braga hosts high-profile and international
state-of-art tech companies, and media arts is currently the main driver of the local
creative economy representing half of the employment in the sector and 40% of the
enterprises. ForBraga,mediaarts alsoprovideanopportunitytoengage itscitizensin

The multidisciplinary GNRation Centre has been established to improve access to
newmediaandculturalactivities,withafocusonraisingpublicawarenesssurrounding
theartisticvalueofdigitaltechnologiesthroughinteractiveworkshops.Connectingart
with technology, the Braga Semibreve Festival is now an internationally renowned,
cross-cutting electronic music and media arts event, featuring avant-garde artists from
around the world. Focused on audiovisual performances and experimental live elec-
tronicmusic,thefestivaloffersanimmersivevisualandsonicexperience.Thefestival
also displays works developed by students from the EngageLab of the Minho
University; an institution recognized for its advanced ICT-based research.
Inrecentyears,Bragahasimplementedastrategyaimedatsupportingthemediaarts
and creative industries, nurturing an already thriving cultural ecosystem. It aims to
generateemploymentopportunities,topromoteandshowcaseemergingdigitaltalents,
and to strengthen the economic impact of the creative field. The city also launched a
new media art residency and a start-up hub to provide further support to media arts
thinkers and entrepreneurs through regular international roadshows (source:

As host city, Braga provided the ideal landscape for bringing together artists,
designers, and other people working in cutting-edge technologies from a variety of
backgrounds from all over the world.
