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.

MFF2010 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
