Situations of presence: reclaiming public space in the urban digital gallery

Published:19 November 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

The article considers the urban digital gallery as an opportunity to reclaim public space from digital factors of spatial determinism in the media city. It considers the affective quality of urban digital artworks as interface between 'human' and 'technology'. The urban digital gallery is proposed to contribute to media architectural discourse by establishing situations of presence through which public space might be reclaimed, re-inhabited and re-evaluated.
