Vortrag: Leo Findeisen - Amplified Cities
Mittwoch, 13. Mai 2009 - 19:00 Uhr
Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien
On the one hand, the presentation will focus on trends in augmented reality devices for navigating urban space and look into their underlying structures, socially and technically.
On the other hand, the talk will outline the NetzNetz project, an alternative funding model for Digital Arts and Cultures whereby the money is distributed by `parliaments of art´, adaptable procedures that allow for the social fine-tuning between different interests and needs in these fields of cultural production to become visible and decidable while staying open and arguably democratic.
