Urbanscreens

URBAN SCREENS investigates how the currently commercial use of outdoor screens
can be broadened with cultural content. We address cultural fields as digital
media culture, urbanism, architecture and art. We want to network and sensitise
all engaged parties for the possibilities of using the digital infrastructure
for contributing to a lively urban society, binding the screens more to the communal
context of the space and therefore creating local identity and engagement. The
integration of the current information technologies support the development of
a new integrated digital layer of the city in a complex merge of material and
immaterial space that redefine the function of this growing infrastructure.
