Drawing on a theoretical framework that integrates the concepts of multimodality, new media, and inclusive education, it analyses the implementation of an interactive sound performance in an edu- cational setting involving functional diversity. The performance, based on digital and sensory technologies, aims to provide acces- sible, adaptable, and cognitively stimulating artistic experiences, promoting the active participation of children with diverse sensory and motor profiles. The description of the performative system is accompanied by a critical reflection on the principles of acces- sibility, individualisation, and participation, grounded in direct observations and testimonials collected during its application. The results suggest that the combination of sound art, technology, and inclusive interactive design may represent a relevant pathway for the development of more equitable educational and performative practices. The article thus highlights the role of multimodality as a tool for artistic mediation and social inclusion. 2026-04-13T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/42137 Title: VEIN A Bio-Sonic Narrative of Forest Life through Plant Bioelectrical Signals Authors: Conde, André; Santos-Silva, Celeste Editors: Fernandes-Marcos, Adérito; Pereira, Selma; Maneira, António Abstract: EIN is an artistic research project that investigates the translation of plant bioelectrical signals into bio-sonic narratives. The system captures real-time electrical fluctuations from vegetation in a forest ecosystem (Alto de São Bento, Évora, Portugal) and transforms them into structured sound through a hybrid analog-digital workflow. Conductive sensors record variations in plant bioelectrical activity, which are amplified, digitized, and mapped onto sonic parameters such as pitch, timbre, and rhythmic density. Rather than treating sonification as direct representation of data, VEIN frames it as a situated interpretative process in which biological and technological systems co-produce perceptual structures. The main contribution is the proposition of narrative as an emergent property of temporal biological variability rather than a human-centered construct. This approach is critically positioned against conventional sonification frameworks that prioritize analytical transparency and data fidelity. Instead, VEIN aligns with ecological listening and sound studies perspectives that emphasize relational perception and situated meaning-making. The project contributes to ongoing debates in bioacoustics, media art, and ecological sound practices by proposing a model of bio-sonic narration grounded in more- than-representational processes. 2026-05-27T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/41036 Title: Pictures Michalis Kontaxakis, Dejan Ivanovich (G) Da Vinci Classics C01041 Authors: Nobuaki, Nagaoka Abstract: A crítica do álbum "Pictures", publicada pela revista de guitarra mais relevante do Japão. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
