Abstract

ARTEFACTO IS A TRANSDISCIPLINARY STUDIES JOURNAL AND CONFERENCE CENTERED AROUND THE CONCEPT OF DIGITAL MEDIA AND COMPUTER ARTIFACTS, WHICH WERE THE GENESIS OF ITS NAME. IT AIMS TO GIVE VISIBILITY TO ALL DIGITAL MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY-BASED ARTIFACTS, CREATORS, OR CONTRIBUTORS FROM A TRANSDISCIPLINARY, HUMANISTIC, AND HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE OF INTEGRATION AND COMPOSITION. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE IS CONSTRUCTING AND DISSEMINATING KNOWLEDGE THROUGH DESCRIPTIONS OF ARTISTIC PRACTICE, AUTHORSHIP OR CO-AUTHORSHIP (INCLUDING THE NARRATION AND DESCRIPTION OF OTHER WORKS), AND GRAPHIC DATA (IMAGES, DIAGRAMS, ANIMATIONS, DRAWINGS, SKETCHES). THE JOURNAL IS OPEN TO INTERNATIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ALL THOSE STUDYING DIGITAL MEDIA/COMPUTER ARTIFACTS, EMBRACING THEIR CONCEPTUALIZATION, DESIGN, CREATIVE AND RESEARCH PROCESSES, COMPUTATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION, EXHIBITION AND FRUITION, AND ROLE IN TODAY’S INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY. ALSO WELCOMED ARE ARTICLES FOSTERING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF AN ARTIFACT THEORY IN THE DIGITAL MEDIA WORLD. ACCEPTED ARTICLES SHALL BE ORIGINAL (IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE STANDARDS OF CONDUCT OF THE COPE – CODE OF CONDUCT AND GOOD PRACTICES) IN PORTUGUESE AND ENGLISH, WITH A MANDATORY ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH. THE CONFERENCE HAS THE SAME GOALS AS THE JOURNAL BUT PROVIDES A SPECIFIC FLOOR FOR THE CONCRETE EXHIBITION OF ARTIFACTS ALONG WITH THEIR PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION. ALL SUBMISSIONS WILL BE EVALUATED BY PEER REVIEW, INCLUDING TWO ADVISORS FROM THE SCIENTIFIC COUNCIL. ALL FEEDBACK WILL BE SENT TO THE AUTHORS, INDICATING THEIR APPROVAL, REFUSAL OF PUBLICATION, OR REQUESTS FOR CORRECTION OR RECAST. THE AUTHORS WILL BE NOTIFIED OF THE PUBLICATION ONCE THE ENTIRE SELECTION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. ARTEFACTO IS A JOINT PROJECT BETWEEN ARTECH INTERNATIONAL AND UNIVERSIDADE ABERTA.
