![]() media extensions in public space | UdK | 2007 | url: http://www.digital.udk-berlin.de/en/projects/winter0607/hauptstudium/mimimalmedia.html New technologies leave ever increasing marks in public space.

Huge LED-screens send their commercial dispatch to the urban environment. This semester we want to re-conquer urban space by minimal media interventions by extending existing objects with economic means and intelligent ideas. The interventions have the goal to inspire passers-by to reflect and to react, the interventions should inform and entertain, as well as create individual identities for said locations. As an introduction, we take perspective by looking at analog extensions of a laptop: To develop an analog extension of a laptop that considers its physical properties as well as computational power. |
