[Commlist] Lecture series on Algorithms, Cinema and Audiovisual

*Online Conference Series: ALGORITHMS, AUDIOVISUAL AND CINEMA*

*Co-organization: *ICNOVA (Universidade Nova de Lisboa) and CECC 
(Universidade Católica Portuguesa)

The development and application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) 
technologies in the audiovisual sector has been growing in recent years. 
Over-the-top services (OTT), distributed directly to viewers via the 
Internet, are particularly associated with a shift towards automation 
through algorithmic mediation in audiovisual content, led by platforms 
such as Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, among 
others. In this series of conferences throughout 2022, international 
experts will share state-of-the-art knowledge about the impact of 
algorithmic systems on the design, production, and reception of 
audiovisual content. We aim to initiate a conversation between 
researchers, professionals, and viewers that, being directly about the 
audiovisual and cinematic experience, inevitably touches themes such as 
the datafication of society, the transformation of the meaning of 
culture, and the governance of automation systems.
