URBAN MACHINES: Public Space in a Digital Culture 

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION 

Wednesday, December 1, 2021

 12:00 PM EDT - 18:00 CET 

Online: REGISTER here: www.shorturl.at/pCDH6 

The Roundtable discussion will present critical perspectives on the impact of Information Technologies, that have disrupted city life, on public space while providing an inspiring vision of possible future scenarios for the public realm in a digital culture. The use of ICTs has radically changed the way we inhabit and operate in urban space. Over the last few decades an increasingly collaborative and interdisciplinary work developed by architects, artists, urban and media designers has defined a particular landscape of projects that engage information technology as a catalytic tool for expanding, augmenting and altering public and social interactions in the urban space.

The event is organized by LISTLab with the support of CSU- Consortium for Sustainable Urbanization.
