exURBAN SCREENS :: A new event for digital screens and media
exURBAN SCREENS is a new event that will engage audiences through
digital screens and media content in the public domain and “outer”
spaces that characterize the frontiers of our ever expanding cities.
Urban centres and the exurban fringe are attracted to each other in a
push/pull relationship; expanding in all directions, growing at
different scales.
The inaugural exURBAN SCREENS project will use contemporary media art
as a conduit between urbanality and the social and cultural dynamics
of the outer boundaries of our cities. Based in Frankston at the
fringe of Melbourne (Australia) the inaugural project will consist of
a number of sites including gallery and public spaces and will feature
works from around the world including Australian artist Ian de Gruchy.
See the exURBAN SCREENS website for more details:
