June 4th to 7th
International Conference on Media, Arts and Interaction. Intermediartes mission is to promote the intersection between the arts and technologies through a series of interdisciplinary activities. This Conference aims to be an interface and a space for dialog and discussion, where the different overlaps of media, arts and interaction awaken new creative approaches in the various fields, bringing together academia, artists and the surrounding community. The focus of Intermediartes is to boost new learning by complementing the training of all those involved, but also to encourage artistic and scientific dissemination.

Creative Lab
The Hackathon InterMediArtes (HIMA) is a multidisciplinary creative laboratory that connects the arts with emerging technologies. This intensive and experimental creative space is made up of students from ESMAE's Masters in Art and Sound Technology and ESMAD's Masters in Interactive Digital Media, as well as students from other courses looking to cross disciplines and explore media arts and interaction. Every year we open a call for students from other courses, to stimulate these disciplinary crossings. This is a registration form for those students wishing to take part in this initiative, which takes place at P.Porto's Culture Center and ESMAD's Blackbox. The projects developed at HIMA will be presented to the public on the last day of Intermediartes.
Applications are now open for the five external places in the Intermediartes Hackathon

Stopmotion | Pixilation
By combining the characteristics of animated cinema with the real image, some of the secrets of the pixilation technique will be revealed: substitu- tion of objects and scenery, acceleration and deceleration movements, lines of action. What distinguishes pixilation from stop-motion is the use of the human figure as a model in the frame-by-frame register, thus manag- ing to animate living actors alongside inanimate objects. Pixilation and stop-motion animation-based techniques make it possible to explore and convey more abstract concepts, or to use metaphors and construct cinematic narratives that are more plastic in character, but at the same time understandable. Through pixilation, the real image enhances the human nature of the films, making it possible to highlight, for example, the facial emotions and body language of the actors. Stop-motion allows us to play with scales, transitions and challenge what is considered conventional, helping the surreal character of the narrative by enhancing the dreamlike side of animation. These are some of the resources that will allow you to create visual illusions that will result in short animation exercises.
