Urban Noise Pollution Displayed on Street Advertising Boards

Pink Noise by arts collective HeHe.org will be installed in Witte de Withstraat, Rotterdam on Sept. 10th, during the live event"Hands On Hands Off" organised by V2.

"Bruit rose" (Pink Noise in English): The interaction of this work is based on visualising the ambient sounds in the environment aswel as the passerby. The light emmitting panels, usually used to divulge numerically formatted information, are instead detourne from this didatic function and serve as an animated visual, disengaged from all the gloss that usually occupies this urban advertising space.

URBAN SCREENS
THE POTENTIAL OF SCREENS FOR URBAN SOCIETY NEWS *****************************************************

The next Urban Screens event is due to come. It will take place in New York in 2011

Urban Screens Melbourne 08 at Federation Square marked the official launch of the International Urban Screens Association (IUSA)

URBAN SCREENS a project by Urban Media Research Berlin, investigates how the currently commercial use of outdoor screens and related infrastructure for digital moving images in urban space can be broadened with cultural content. We address cultural fields as digital media culture, urbanism, architecture and art. We want to network and sensitise all engaged parties for the possibilities of using the digital infrastructure for contributing to a lively urban society, binding the screens more to the communal context of the space and therefore creating local identity and engagement. The integration of the current information technologies support the development of a new integrated digital layer of the city in a complex merge of material and immaterial space that redefine the function of this growing infrastructure of digital moving images.
