The publication from the 6th edition of Intermediartes – International Conference on Media, Arts and Interaction, held in 2024 at ESMAD (Vila do Conde, Portugal), brings together artistic and theoretical contributions around the theme Ideas, Acts, and Artifacts of Freedom, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Portuguese Carnation Revolution (25 April 1974). Among the published works are an installation and an article by Tobias Gaede: Color System Conflict, a visual reflection on digital chromatic codes; and The Exploitation of Machinic Labor Power for Artistic Productivity and Its Dystopian Counterpart, which critically explores the impact of automation on contemporary artistic production.
