A Personal Big Screen Connected to the Mobilephone

Imagine the scenarion that people are sitting in subways, parks and plazas watching their individual program fed by their mobilephone on their personal big screens... This really points out the advantage of the "common" urban screens on the experience of shared watching.

URBAN SCREENS 2005 is an international conference ranging from critical theory to project experiences by researchers and practitioners in the field of Art, Architecture, Urban Studies and Digital Culture. It addresses the growing infrastructure of large digital moving displays, that increasingly influence the visual sphere of our public spaces. It will investigate how the currently dominating commercial use of these screens can be broadened and culturally curated. Can these screens become a tool to contribute to a lively urban society, involving its audience interactively?

Read more about the conference topic and its background in the introduction.
