NFTs and the Danger of Loss
Andreia Nogueira, Célio Gonçalo Marques, António Manso, and Paula Almeida
MDPI AG
This 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.

Este 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.


Paper?! What paper? The role of paper in the context of heritage preservation studies in the post-industrial era
Andreia Nogueira
Grupo Espanol del International Institute of Conservation
O presente artigo expõe uma reflexão sobre a relação entre as práticas de documentação da memória aplicadas no âmbito dos estudos de preservação do património industrial, da arte contemporânea e das artes performativas, como é o caso da música. A análise transversal apresentada visa igualmente debater a relação ainda não explorada entre o documento físico, em papel, e o documento digital, na sua articulação com o desenvolvimento sustentável e com uma conservação intencionalmente criativa.

Preservation and technological obsolescence: Portuguese contemporary musical heritage in perspective
Isabel Pires, Filipa Magalhães, and Andreia Nogueira
Informa UK Limited
ABSTRACT This paper seeks to put into perspective the current situation of preservation and performability of a certain Portuguese contemporary music, known as Portuguese musical avant-garde, focusing on the preservation of experimental music from 1960 onwards. This strives to problematise this subject by not only presenting the creative context to these specific musical works but also the main priorities around their documentation and preservation. Furthermore, we also set out actual efforts to retrieve as many musical works as possible, specifically by gathering together all the facets of the musical works, including their magnetic tape recordings. In addition, this paper also approaches current composer concerns about the future survival of their own musical works.

Associacao Profissional de Conservadores-Restauradores de Portugal
Refletindo sobre a problematica da conservacao da arte contemporânea, este artigo discute o processo de documentacao de Luis Vaz 73 (1975), uma obra concebida pelo artista plastico Ernesto de Sousa (1921-1988) e pelo compositor, pianista e maestro, Jorge Peixinho (1940-1995). O processo de documentacao consistiu em quatro passos: identificacao do problema de conservacao que contextualiza o processo de documentacao; recolha de documentacao publicada e nao publicada; producao de documentacao, incluindo a realizacao de entrevistas; e sistematizacao e avaliacao, que organiza a informacao e expoe as falhas do proprio processo. Esta metodologia de documentacao abre uma perspetiva que assenta na relacao entre a producao de documentacao e a sua aplicacao na (re-)apresentacao da obra, procurando uma abordagem reflexiva que identifica os desafios de cada passo deste processo, e informando futuras geracoes sobre a conservacao da obra.


Where contemporary art and contemporary music preservation practices meet: The case of Salt Itinerary
Andreia Nogueira, Rita Macedo, and Isabel Pires
Informa UK Limited
This paper reflects on the continuity of Salt Itinerary, a born-digital musical work that crosses boundaries between music, theatre, and the visual arts, created by Portuguese poet, performer, and composer Miguel Azguime (b. 1960). Several composers and interpreters have pointed out the importance of documentation in the preservation of contemporary music when they experience difficulties while performing the prescribed actions in the score without a description of the results to be achieved along with the composer's intentions. Therefore, a methodological approach was developed which combines prescriptive and descriptive documentation as a main component in the preservation strategy for contemporary musical works. This paper analyses and discusses whether and how this methodology can be applied to the field of contemporary art preservation. It also raises the question of who is responsible for producing and storing this documentation for works of art that exist only outside the museum realm.
