Project Title : European Urban Media Network for Connecting Cities
Description : The aim of the project is to create a networked infrastructure of Urban
Media Facades to circulate artistic and social content throughout the whole of Europe. There exists already a multitude of Urban Screens1, Media Facades2 and Urban Media3 in the European public space, but the way they are used is problematic: On the one hand they are operated separately or only locally connected. On the other hand, they are used for almost purely commercial purposes. We want to open these Urban Media Facades as networked communication platforms to present cultural and social content and to create an intercultural exchange between the local scenes and communities.
