Abstract(s)
As marionetas são consideradas uma das formas de expressão mais tradicionais
da humanidade, mas paralelamente, são formas inovadoras que se renovam ou
reinventam. É neste sentido, que surge o projeto de Marionetas Expandidas enquadrado
no estágio da companhia Lafontana Formas Animadas. Este projeto procura atribuir às
tradicionais marionetas alguma autonomia e explorar novas formas de manipulação
através da utilização de meios digitais e impressão 3D, abordando a questão de como a
implementação de tecnologias interativas pode contribuir para a ilusão de vida das
marionetas sem comprometer a sua essência.
Embora a introdução de tecnologias como luz, som e projeção de vídeo tenha
sido amplamente adotada no teatro de marionetas, os próprios objetos performativos -
marionetas - mantêm-se, em grande parte, fiéis aos materiais e métodos tradicionais,
como a madeira e os mecanismos mecânicos. A exploração de computação física,
sensores, media digitais e dispositivos de controlo digital nas marionetas tem sido
limitados, sendo esta uma área promissora a investigar.
O estágio oferece uma oportunidade para desenvolver competências e
experiência em contexto prático, combinando design de produto, design de interação,
multimédia e computação física. Através de um estudo aprofundado das técnicas de
manipulação de marionetas e análise de projetos e autores relevantes, foram
identificados os aspetos a inovar nas marionetas e os requisitos para um projeto prático
a desenvolver. Este projeto prático centra-se no desenvolvimento de sistemas interativos
para um espetáculo de marionetas da companhia, utilizando uma metodologia de casos
de estudo específicos e tecnologias como a impressão 3D e media digitais interativos.
O objetivo é expandir as marionetas tradicionais, criando novas dimensões no
teatro de marionetas através da incorporação de tecnologias digitais interativas,
promovendo uma reflexão teórica e a disseminação das técnicas e resultados
alcançados.
Puppets are considered one of humanity's most traditional forms of expression, but at the same time, they are innovative forms that are renewed or reinvented. It is in this sense that the Expanded Marionettes project emerged as part of the internship of the company Lafontana Formas Animadas. This project aims to give traditional puppets some autonomy and explore new forms of manipulation using digital media and 3D printing, addressing the question of how the implementation of interactive technologies can contribute to the puppets' illusion of life without compromising its essence. Although the introduction of technologies such as light, sound and video projection have been widely adopted in puppetry, the performing objects themselves - marionettes - remain largely faithful to traditional materials and methods such as wood and mechanical mechanisms. The exploration of physical computing, sensors, digital media, and digital control devices in puppets has been limited, which is a promising area for investigation. The internship provides an opportunity to develop skills and experience in a practical context, combining product design, interaction design, multimedia, and physical computing. Through an in-depth study of puppet manipulation techniques and analysis of relevant projects and authors, the aspects to be innovated in puppets and the requirements for a practical project to be developed were identified. This practical project focuses on developing interactive systems for a company puppet show, using a specific case study methodology and technologies such as 3D printing and interactive digital media. The objective is to expand traditional puppetry, creating new dimensions in puppetry through the incorporation of interactive digital technologies, promoting theoretical reflection and the dissemination of techniques and results achieved.
