Location: Deutsches Architektur Zentrum (DAZ) - Köpenicker Str. 48/49 - 10179 BerlinUrban Screenings on Four Media Facades in Berlin
Media facades are a new kind of exhibition format. Media artists and interaction designer will gain temporary use of four media facades and one interactive city terminal in Berlin and explore their cultural, political and social roles. These screenings serve as a demonstrative test platform for the public. They invite a wider audience to gain hands-on experience in this special connection of content, format, and site-specificity, and to take part in a new interactive infrastructure.

An Expert and Artist Workshop at the Collegium Hungaricum Berlin
We will initiate the process with a 3-day workshop with the 20 media-creatives selected through a call for participation. The objective of the workshop is for each participant to produce a piece for one of the 5 selected media facades. The first day consists of introductory lectures and discussions. The second day is scheduled for site visites and exchange within the group together with the screen operators at the location of each screen. The third day will be reserved for further discussion among the participants and organisers.
Round Table
Public Round Table meetings of the Urban Screens Network Berlin accompany the festival. This expert-network attempts to develop a sustainable concept for a long-term cultural program on urban screens in Berlin. Discussions will take place during important key events in Berlin such as the des Art Directors Club, the Medienwoche (Mediaweek) and the Art Forum Berlin.
Publication
A detailed publication documenting the festival (Conference, Urban Screenings, Exhibition) will be produced to guide the further development in the field.
