Scope

Mit der Etablierung des Internets in den 1990er Jahren begannen Stadtplaner wie Medienaktivisten über Wechselwirkungen von Digitalisierung und Stadtstruktur nachzudenken. (Digitale Stad Amsterdam, digitale Stadt Berlin, Telepolis)

Inzwischen sind im öffentlichen Raum technische Plattformen, wie z.B. interaktive Medienfassaden oder Public Message Boards etabliert, was einerseits die Frage nach adäquaten Inhalten stellt und andererseits Konsequenzen für das reale Stadtleben hat.

Im Zusammenspiel mit der Nutzung mobiler personalisierter Mediengeräte ergeben sich hier neue Möglichkeiten für Unterhaltung und Information, aber auch hinsichtlich Bürgerbeteiligung und sozialer Vernetzung.

Das Symposium richtet sich an Mediengestalter, Stadtplaner und Architekten, Soziologen und diskutiert Stichworte wie :

Open Source City, Urban Media, Vernetzte Nachbarschaften, public games, smart Mobs.

With the establishment of the internet in the 90's city planners as well as media activists started to think about interactions between digitalisation and urban structures (Digitale Stad Amsterdam, digitale Stadt Berlin, Telepolis).

Since that time technical platforms like interactive media facades or public message boards were established in public, on the one hand creating demand for content and on the other hand creating real consequences for city life.

In cooperation with the usage of personalised mobile media devices new chances are offered for information and amusement as well as public involvement and social networking.

This symposium is directed at architects and city planners, media designers, sociologists, and addresses themes such as::

Open Source City, Urban Media, networked neighbourhoods, public gaming.
