- NFTs and the Danger of LossPublication . Nogueira, Andreia; Marques, C. G.; Manso, António; Almeida, PaulaThis research contributes to the discussion around the importance of the long-term preservation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and minted digital artworks. The paper is based on a review of the literature on blockchain in art and heritage management and conservation, with particular attention to references related to the production, marketing, maintenance, and distribution of NFT-based digital art. The aims of this paper involve anticipating potential problems in the oversight of NFTs and setting out good long-term management principles and practices as well as specific preservation strategies. Despite the fact that it also discusses issues over authorship, copyright, creative commons, and open access, the paper is particularly devoted to raising concerns about the high energy consumption associated with blockchain technology and its impact on climate change. It also highlights how the preservation of NFTs cannot be neglected, despite the belief that they last forever. Most studies dedicated to analysing the impact of blockchain technology on the cultural heritage sector ignore the most important issue: preserving not only the minted digital artworks themselves but also the respective blockchain networks. Overall, this paper seeks to foster a collective awareness of the need to reflect on blockchain-related art practices and their implications for the long-term protection of cultural property.
- O Património Industrial de Tomar e a Festa dos TabuleirosPublication . Pires da Silva, Cláudia; Chasqueira, Ânia; Camponês, André; Nogueira, Andreia; Simões, J. T.; Marques, C. G.; Dionísio, Marta; Pinto Coelho, JoãoEste artigo pretende apresentar a relação existente entre o património industrial de Tomar e o seu património cultural imaterial, mais concretamente a Festa dos Tabuleiros, através da sua participação e organização da Festa. Esta relação, que alarga a todo o concelho de Tomar, principiou, nos dias de hoje, a vontade e a necessidade de preservar ambos os patrimónios, que até hoje ainda se relacionam, uma vez que são tão importantes para a memória coletiva e identidade da população da cidade de Tomar. Desta forma, expõe-se aqui a relação entre o património industrial de Tomar e a Festa dos Tabuleiros ao longo do tempo, bem como o modo como a sua preservação tem sido concretizada.
- The power of creativity in nurturing sustainable developmentPublication . Triães, Ricardo; Nogueira, Andreia; Chasqueira, ÂniaThis paper explores the perspective that, in working towards a truly sustainable preservation of the past, conservators need to engage with uncomfortable changes to allow the intentional and deliberate introduction of artistic creativity into conservation. It aims to set out certain examples of creative practices that are nurturing sustainability within conservation and that provide the evidence and justification for launching creative conservation within conservation theory and ethics to create a new conservation ecology. This new approach correspondingly reflects recent theoretical developments within the broader field of heritage studies. However, conservation professionals tend to be conservative and are reticent to allow artistic creativity to guide their conservation activities in an explicit and intentional manner.
