JUNE
14th - 15th SPRING 2004
In recent years, emerging technologies and policies have transformed
notions of public space. Mobile phones, surveillance systems and
electronic barriers affect how we spend our time, where we go and
how we express ourselves.
What are the new perceptions of our cities and public spaces?
What
are aesthetic, cultural and social implications?
What is the impact
on creative practices, technology development and civic stakeholders?
What are the emerging tactics and processes for public engagement?
What are the opportunities for expression, intervention and participation?
