ACOA -- Chronological Analysis of the Exhibition of Artistic Works

We are currently prioritizing home activities, avoiding human contact, and carrying out external activities mostly by necessity. Therefore, and due to the loss of adhesion to cultural events on the part of the population, the cultural digital transformation process has been boosted, aiming to reach interested communities through digital media. The ACOA platform supports the organization of multiple sources of information related to creative processes behind complex artworks and their trajectories over time. This information is of great interest to conservators and curators, as well as to the general public, as it allows to document changes in the artwork, from the moment it was conceived by the artist, until its most recent exhibition. This platform houses a chronological evolution of the work, through the contextual dissemination of associated multimedia content. Works by the Portuguese artist Ana Vieira (1940-2016) were chosen as case studies for the implementation of the platform.
