10 October 2025 — Budapest, Hungary
Pilar Orero, from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the TransMedia Catalonia research group, presented “Multimodal and Multilingual AI Tools for European Art Media Archives: From Music to News” at the Interweaving Languages: Multilingualism in Art and Education hybrid conference, held 9–11 October 2025 in Budapest.
The event was jointly organised by the Hungarian Academy of Arts, the Research Institute of Art Theory and Methodology, and the Language Center of the University of Bielefeld.
Pilar’s presentation focused on how AI-based multilingual and multimodal tools can support the curation, preservation, and accessibility of European art media archives, with a special focus on music.
The talk aligned with the conference’s central aim: to explore the creative, pedagogical, and sociocultural dimensions of language as it crosses disciplinary, linguistic, and cultural boundaries.
In recent years, both academic and artistic communities have shown growing interest in multilingualism and translingualism, reflecting today’s interconnected societies and increasingly hybrid identities. Across literature, visual arts, film, theatre, architecture, and education, these frameworks have become essential to understanding how languages coexist, interact, and shape meaning within and across cultural contexts.
This presentation reflects MOSAIC’s commitment to advancing AI-driven, inclusive technologies that celebrate Europe’s linguistic and cultural diversity while enhancing accessibility and collaboration across the media landscape.
