OEI #80-81 is not an anthological publication, and has no representative ambition. It is a montage-based publication trying, in as material a way as possible, to register, prolong, transform and reflect upon energies from the work of Portuguese artist Ernesto de Sousa and his fellows (Alberto Carneiro, Túlia Saldanha, Álvaro Lapa, Fernando Calhau, Lourdes Castro, Ana Vieira, Ana Hatherly, E.M. de Melo e Castro, António Barros…).

Ernesto de Sousa and his fellows defined themselves as aesthetic operators and worked as filmmakers, photographers, curators, critics, writers, folk art researchers, multimedia artists… OEI #80-81 also gathers texts on magazines such as Poesia Experimental, Operação, Nova, A Urtiga, and Alternativa; and works by artists from younger generations such as Isabel Carvalho, Paulo Mendes and Mariana Silva, in dialogue with that of de Sousa.

OEI #80-81不是一本选集出版物，也没有什么代表性的野心。它是一本以蒙太奇为基础的出版物，试图以尽可能物质化的方式来记录、延长、转化和反思葡萄牙艺术家埃内斯托-德-索萨及其伙伴（阿尔贝托-卡内罗、图利亚-萨尔达尼亚、阿尔瓦罗-拉帕、费尔南多-卡尔豪、卢尔德-卡斯特罗、安娜-维埃拉、安娜-哈瑟利、E.M. de Melo e Castro、安东尼奥-巴罗斯）的作品中的能量。

埃内斯托-德-索萨和他的伙伴们将自己定义为美学经营者，并作为电影制作人、摄影师、策展人、评论家、作家、民间艺术研究者、多媒体艺术家…… OEI #80-81还收集了关于《实验诗歌》、《歌剧》、《新星》、《A Urtiga》和《Alternativa》等杂志的文本；以及年轻一代艺术家的作品，如Isabel Carvalho、Paulo Mendes和Mariana Silva，与德索萨的作品进行对话。
