End of April sees the launch of our publication Urban Media Cultures which evolved from the long-term collaboration of its editors Susa Pop (Public Art Lab), Ursula Stalder (University of Applied Sciences and Arts Lucerne), Mirjam Struppek (Interactionfield) and Gernot Tscherteu (Media Architecture Institute) mainly for the Media Facades Festival Berlin 2008 and Europe 2010 and most lately theInnovation Forum Urban Screens 2011. About 40 authors from an international network comprising media artists, screen operators, architects, developers and cultural institutions discuss in three chapters – Urban Media & City Development, Technologies, Marketing & Media Scenography – how high-resolution displays, computer-animated light installations or mechanical media screens, briefly urban screens and media architecture, shape our modern lives and change the face of our cities and consider the risks and potentials of our increasingly digitalised cities development in its spatial and social context. With numerous examples this book illustrates current trends in interactive media structures.
