Summary


I have given lectures, talks, and presentations that reflect my interest in the intersection of communication studies, language, and digital and experimental literary practices. My approach highlights the interdisciplinary dynamics that encompass digital and experimental literature, semiotics, intermediality, communication theory, and educational practices, showcasing the diversity and richness of contemporary studies in communication and languages.

I have organized scientific and cultural events, including Breaking the Code: Hacktivating Non-Normative Algorithms | FONOVOZ: Sound Poetry Encounters | A.G.Z. small explosions | ELO 2017 & 2023 Conference | Colloquia in Honor of Salette Tavares and António Aragão | The 21st International Consciousness Reframed Conference | Experimental Poetry: Materialities and Digital Representations | 1st International Congress on Cyberliterature.

I have curated exhibitions such as ELO 2017 & 2023 Media Arts Show | Networks, Collaboration & Resistance in/between Portugal and Brazil, 1962–1982 | Abílio-José Santos. Revelation | re:A-JS (should be read as "reage-se") | Cyberliterature Showcase.

I have participated as a reviewer and/or a member of scientific committees for conferences such as xCoAx | ICIDS | AH-DT | Intermediarts | Poetics and Politics of Repetition | ELO Conference and Media Arts Festival | Teaching Digital Literature | Ana Hatherly: Programmability and Creation | Digital Literary Studies | ACM.
