About

SP _URBAN DIGITAL FESTIVAL is an initiative of SESI-SP, a cultural service since 1979. The pyramid-like building of FIEST offers a huge façade. Within the SP_URBAN DIGITAL FESTIVAL the facades will be transformed into the first digital gallery of Latin America during the festival. The event is a pioneer project for integrating culture in the public space.

Our Connecting Cities Network fully supports that approach and was hence one of the cases presented by Susa Pop. See full programme: http://retune.de/programm

Panel: The Networked, the Participatory and the Visible City
Connecting Cities network members discuss the role of urban media facades for our cities as visualisation and communication platforms. Acting as interfaces between the digital and the physical world, these facades engage the public in participatory processes and thus create a novel awareness of public space

On 2nd May, the first day of the three days conference re:publica, Germany’s biggest conference for Social Media & digital society, we will organise a programme on Urban Media & Smart Cities. Our programme starts at 17.15 h at Stage 4 with a keynote by Tim Edler from realities:united, the Berlin based studio for art, architecture and technology. In a panel we will further pursue the question how urban media as temporary communication platform could facilitate the exchange between citizens to support the diversity of a city. How can we use the networked infrastructures for the shaping of a socio-cultural urban development?
Panel guests include: Khaldoun Al Agha, EIT ICT Lab | Oriana Persico & Salvatore Iaconesi, AOS Art is Open Source |  Evanela Lapi, Fokus Fraunhofer | Tim Edler, realities:united | Moderation: Martin Spindler.

The panel will be followed by a Urban Media Lounge from 18:45 h in the Open Space. If you are wondering about the impact of the digitalisation on our cities, if you’re curious about alternative network topologies and want to hear more about the potential of artistic interventions for our urban live you should visit us there.  The Lounge invites experts from the field to host a roundtable to discuss such questions and related projects with you.

Your hosts are:

• Susa Pop, Public Art Lab. “European Urban Media Network for Connecting Cities. From temporary artistic interventions to a sustainable urban media planning.”

The Lounge will be kicked-off with the presentation of considerable cases like the projects Living Cities (initiator: AOS, Art is Open Source) and the European Urban Media Network for Connecting Cities (initiator: Public Art Lab, 2012 – 2016), host the launch of the publication Urban Media Cultures (release: April 2012, avedition) and the recently founded Urban Media Network.
