"La città come interfaccia"… tema interessante! penso che la pratica di essere cittadini e quella di essere utenti connessi si stanno sovrapponendo. I modelli esperienziali della metropoli contemporanea e quelli dell'utente connesso sono simili. La geolocalizzazione crea uno spazio ibrido, o meglio un interspazio tra mappa virtuale e spazio reale dove si inserisce la comunicazione, dove vivono le comunità, dove si creano database e dove scorrono i flussi. Con la geolocalizzazione e le pratiche di realtà aumentata che si affacciano a supportare i device portatili e i media urbani (urban screen e media architecture) e ad espanderne le loro possibilità, la metropoli diventa un esperienza aumentata, uno spazio stratificato e ibrido… interessante quindi questa manifestazione che si terrà a Vienna dal titolo City as Interface…

Coded Cultures is an multinational initiative of the group 5uper.net to discuss and reflect the intersections of media, art, society and technology in experimental settings of exihibitions, workshops, symposia, presentations and artistic interventions. For the fourth time, Coded Cultures presents a forum to discuss and present (new) media arts, digital communities and positions itself in the current international (media arts) discurse. Coded Cultures 2011: The City as Interface takes place from september 21st to october 2nd and is located around the second district (Leopoldstadt) in Vienna, Austria.
Cultural accomplishments of individuals or differently organized forms of human beings in context with an ever-changing (transforming) environment bring manifold products and processes to surface: cultural artifacts, »distributed agencies«, »framed interactivity« , collective ideas. The city as artistic playfield is used to present Coded Cultures 2011 in a dislocated way, presenting new media arts, media architecture, hacktivism and similar fields of expression with a strong focus on intermediation and discursivity. Through interactive and experimental forms of presentation, accompanied by classical forms of displaying new media arts (such as exhibitions and performances) the role of media arts, media artists and art festivals as such are to be discussed, presented and reflected upon.
