Tamiko Thiel, Invited Professor at the University of Art and Design Linz, will be giving a keynote lecture on “Intimate Screens in Public Places: Mobile Augmented Reality” as part of the symposium "Emergent Visions."
EMERGENT VISIONS gathers a group of international artists, curators, and scholars for dialogue and thoughtful critique concerning the diverse frames and practices through which we might recognize the emergent and evocative visions, affects, and practices potentiated in and around urban screens. Hosted by The School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University, with support and collaboration from Indiana University and the School of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication at University of Texas Dallas, this symposium provides a platform for expanding our conceptions of mediated public space, and for developing modes of inquiry that reflect upon, and even challenge how we might newly engage with these spaces and surfaces – from various scales and contexts and with great sensitivity to a range of perspectives.
Scholarly and artistic concerns for urban screens have addressed their integration into our shifting urban environments. Not limited to physical technological systems, urban screens are variously understood as material portals – a range of scales, forms, and functions through which we encounter the flows and infrastructures of the city. They are conceptual fields – whereby the significance of our public and technological environments are both signaled and interrogated. Urban screens are also located objects (architecturally, bodily, spatially) – practiced in situ, they take on the possibilities and limitations of their particular relational grounds. Acting as interfaces of display and broadcast within global networks, they are simultaneously geographically grounded contact zones for place-making.
