VR/URBAN reclaim the screens

    • 05.02.2010

    That thrills it all! Due to the massive Transmediale rush Evan Roth from the grafitti research lab is in town and will join our workshop about reclaiming techniques in urban space. The workshop will take place at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin. The first part of the event will feature international institutes and art-groups dealing with urban-social topics and the second part is a discussion between economic spokesmen of big urban media agencies (Wall, Megaposter) and media theorists.

    Some nice people think we might be a good example for combinig information technologies and engineering in an artsy way. That´s very surprising and we are glad for that given opportunity to show the SMSlingshot with 19 other participants in the "Art of Engineering" exhibition at Technikmuseum Berlin during the Transmediale Festival.

    We are very proud to present the SMSlingshot project at the conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction (TEI) 2010 at MIT Media Lab, Boston. We have a 15 minutes slot to tell our story so far, our plans for the future and what drives us right now. As far as we know the conference is already sold out, so there are no tickets left. For all of you who are interested in that field of research; there will be a report coming more or less realtime at www.tui.formundzweck.de.

    We´ll keep you updated!

    We are happy to announce that VR/URBAN is going to present a new interactive media installation at a contemporary art museum in Riga (Latvia). The installation is called SMSlingshot and is an extended development of last years spread.gun which was made for the media facades festival in Berlin.

    So we encourage you to have a look at this site during the next few weeks to get some more impressions of how it works, looks and sounds to shoot digital short messages on public walls.

    We also do some re-structuring work of the website, so everything can work much better then.

    The dates for the exhibition are:

    12th - 13th of September during the night at Kim?
