Urban Research: For Directors Lounge 2012 in Februray, I will post here images and links from the submissions to Urban Research. This shall be a source for networking and inspiration, it is not a list of final decisions of the program.
Urban Research Directors Lounge 2011 is coming up very soon! Starting February 10th 2011 I am posting a few snippets of this year’s submission here. The program is coming up very soon! mission 2011The Urban Research Programme, curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr, is a special theme-based programme at The International Directors Lounge Media Art Festival. Urban Research has become a steady pool for innovative work concerning public space and urban development. An increasing number or artists act in response to the accelerated changes in the urban environment, demanding different ideas on how public place should be defined and created. These artists use documentary and experimental forms to create novel ideas about the urban environments under change. Digital communications, though creating new realms, affect the way public space is used, and the priority of international economy puts pressure on local politics without any interest in communal space. On the other hand, artists try to play a more active role in local communities and politics, and they try to heighten the perceptions of public space and how urban environment is being used. Using experimental arts as a means of communication and with public interventions, artists provoke discussions on the topic of urban space as our (lost) native environment.
