Media and Urban Space Challenge, Playground and consideration
for Architects, Urban Planners, Sociologists
BAUHAUS-UNIVERSITÄT WEIMAR Call
for Papers, Architectural Concepts and Media Art Projects
The terms "media" and "city" are used in many discourses and have different references. A wide range of disciplines are formulating assumptions about the relationship between spatial and technological relationships, while neither terminologies nor theoretical framing are worked out. The conference attempts to research different approaches to handle the basic question of how "media" and "urban space" might be constructed as terms which will allow further empirical research strategies. The MEDIACITY conference wants to enable the research about occurring
processes of media use in urban contexts in the widest sense. The MEDIACITY conference is interested to increase its international and national cooperation with scientists and research institutions all over the world. The conference will be the starting date of a new international on-line journal where selected contributions will be published. The MEDIACITY conference is part of the MEDIACITY project of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and aims at establishing a new research center on media, architecture and city. The conference will represent the book "Mediacity" which will offer an inside look in the first findings. Call for Papers, Architectural Concepts and Media Art Projects We call for proposals concerning the fields of architecture, urban studies/sociology and media studies.
