Abstract
This book discusses the small and large screens, projections, interactive
installations, and media architecture that populate our contemporary urban
public spaces. It proposes a methodological toolset for the examination
of their functioning and their critical and creative potential – ranging
from every-day informational or commercial, to playful, artistic, or activist
practices. Approaching these screens as street-level urban interfaces,
the book offers theoretical concepts for understanding the relationship
between various urban screen media, their techno-material design, and their
spectators within the surrounding social and cultural urban context.
