SCREENING THE CITY SEMINAR
Donderdag 1 December, 10-17u, deur open 9.30
Locatie: Trouw de Verdieping, Wibautstraat 127, Amsterdam

Screening the City draait om data van bewoners, beeldmateriaal van de stad en de infrastructuur van de ‘smart city’. Tijdens het seminar en in de expositie presenteren ontwerpers, onderzoekers, programmeurs, illustratoren en journalisten mogelijkheden om lokale content en data terug te geven aan de stad, via urban screens, mobiele apps, interactieve tv-formats en andere kanalen.

Na de succesvolle urban screen conferenties in Amsterdam (2005 en 2009), Manchester (2007) en Melbourne (2008), vindt van 29 november t/m 1 december alweer het vijfde Urban Screens event plaats, met als thema ‘Screening the City’.

In het seminar worden o.a. twee Culture Vortex projecten gepresenteerd, namelijk Docs on the Spot (IDFA, Instituut voor Beeld & Geluid, Stadsarchief Amsterdam, MediaLAB en INC) en Kunst en Nieuws in de Publieke Ruimte (DROPSTUFF en NOS). Het gehele programma is te vinden op http://networkcultures.org/urbanscreens/amsterdam-11/programma/.

Screening the City is onderdeel van onderzoeksproject Culture Vortex en wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door SIA RAAK.
