McQuire, ScottMartin, MeredithNiederer, Sabine2023-02-172023-02-172009978-90-78146-10-0https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/urban-screens/https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/20460The Urban Screens Reader is the first book to focus entirely on the topic of urban screens. In assembling contributions from a range of leading theorists, in conjunction with a series of case studies dealing with artists’ projects and screen operators’ and curators’ experiences, the reader offers a rich resource for those interested in the intersections between digital media, cultural practices and urban space. Urban Screens have emerged as a key site in contemporary struggles over public culture and public space. They form a strategic junction in debates over the relation between technological innovation, the digital economy, and the formation of new cultural practices in contemporary cities. How should we conceptualize public participation in relation to urban screens? Are ‘the public’ citizens, consumers, producers, or something else? Where is the public located? When a screen is erected in public space, who has access to it and control over it? What are the appropriate forms of urban planning, design and governance? How do urban screens affect cultural experiences?<ul> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20460/INC-Reader_5_McQuire_ea_2009_Urban-Screens-Reader_.pdf#page=6'> Scott McQuire, Meredith Martin, and Sabine Niederer: <i> Introduction to the Urban Screens Reader</i></a></li> </ul> <h4>Urban Screens: History, Technology, Politics</h4> <ul> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20460/INC-Reader_5_McQuire_ea_2009_Urban-Screens-Reader_.pdf#page=9'>Erkki Huhtamo: <i>Messages on the Wall: An Archaeology of Public Media Displays</i></a></li> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20460/INC-Reader_5_McQuire_ea_2009_Urban-Screens-Reader_.pdf#page=16'>Saskia Sassen: <i>Reading the City in a Global Digital Age</i></a></li> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20460/INC-Reader_5_McQuire_ea_2009_Urban-Screens-Reader_.pdf#page=24'>Scott McQuire: <i>Mobility, Cosmopolitanism and Public Space in the Media City</i></a></li> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20460/INC-Reader_5_McQuire_ea_2009_Urban-Screens-Reader_.pdf#page=34'>Uta Caspary: <i>Digital Media as Ornament in Contemporary Architecture Facades: Its Historical Dimension</i></a></li> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20460/INC-Reader_5_McQuire_ea_2009_Urban-Screens-Reader_.pdf#page=39'>Leon van Schaik: <i>The Lightness in Architecture</i></a></li> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20460/INC-Reader_5_McQuire_ea_2009_Urban-Screens-Reader_.pdf#page=43'>M.
