SS 24 – a cross-disciplinary project for the City Digital Skin Art Festival (CDSA) 2024 The seminar 'Beyond the Screens' will investigate the potential of large scale urban screens and media facades as visualisation zones of ecologies to make climate change tangible, visible and experiential in the public space. How can we shape natural environments and ecologies that often extend human understanding and human interests and recognize the needs and dynamics of beyond-human organisms? How can we map/track/trace our natural urban environments to create impactful narratives and give a voice to beyond-human species presented in public spaces on digital screens and media architecture environments? How to create public consciousness at the crossroads of art, science and technologies?
In this seminar you will investigate how to develop impactful narratives for the ecological urgencies on large scale digital infrastructures. You will explore AI generated art tools, data and sensing applications which contribute to visualise and craft videos for large site-specific screens in Singapore, China and Europe. How to transform everyday spaces by using LED screens as dynamic moving paintings which open new perspectives for the relevant nature-cultures debates.
'Beyond the Screens' is a joint project of the China Art Academy / Public Art Department, the Nanyang University Singapore / Design Department and the Bauhaus University Weimar co-curated by Public Art Lab.
The students are invited to develop a 1-2 min video animation for the large-scale infrastructures in Singapore, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hanghzou, Paris, Amsterdam and London. The works will be selected by an international jury in July 2024 and presented in October 2024 during the worldwide CDSA Festival (City Digital Skin Art Festival) and Connecting Cities infrastructure.
