The Networked Possibilities of Urban Screens and Media Facades
MEDIA FACADES FESTIVAL EUROPE 2010 (MFF2010) is an urban media pilot
project that interconnects seven European cities through the existing
infrastructure of urban screens and media facades sited in public
spaces.
Artists and media designers will show especially developed art
projects Europe wide, through screenings and Joint Broadcasting
Events, for the circulation of cultural exchange. Media facades will
be transformed into local stages, connecting public audiences
virtually with participating places and opening a global window to
create dialogue, to share dreams and exchange ideas.
MMF2010 is based on the success of the MEDIA FACADES FESTIVAL BERLIN
2008, both initiated by Susa Pop / Public Art Lab and Mirjam
Struppek / Interactionfield.
Curatorial Programme
The following main curatorial topics have been developed out of the
collaboratively selected screening projects. From 27 August to 2
October 2010 each festival day has a special focus on one of the
following themes.
* Connected Cities: Joint Broadcasting projects that happen
simultaneously and interactively across the borders
* Urban Activism: Reclaim the Screens! An activist approach to
opening screens for the urban community
* Human Screens: Human processes are visualised on media facades
* Organic Cities: Public Data projects use information resources
from the environments and develop a real-time software programme for
live streaming
* Public Playing: Games designed as an interaction catalyst for the
public audience
* European Dialogue: Projects that especially support intercultural
exchange and connect the local scenes through the media facades
infrastructure of the participating cities
* Citizens Journalism: Research and participatory projects of local
scenes
* Recontextualise: A shared video platform on a central server to
create local screening programmes
