Media facades accommodate and materialise the digital in our cityscapes and, by motivating response and interaction, can be instrumental in the revitalisation of our shared urban spaces. Light installations reveal unseen perspectives in our everyday urban environments, while interactive digital art offers a means of engagement with local communities. Throughout, the question is how digital media can contribute to improving the quality of urban life by providing access to the hidden digital layers of current and future cities.
