THE MEDIA CITY - WORKSHOP
Workshop - The Media City
 From March 22 – April 3, 2010, the Netherlands Media Art Institute  
and Time Frame will host ‘The Media City’ workshop, dedicated to the  
exploration of narrative architecture and social interaction on public  
spaces.
The Media City is a specialized project development workshop for urban  
projections, taking place in Amsterdam. From March 22 to April 3,  
eight international artists from Sao Paulo, Lima, Durban, Douala and  
the Netherlands will be given the opportunity to explore the  
possibilities of visual programming interfaces for urban facades, and  
develop their own site specific concept.
The Media City investigates architecture as narrative and social  
interaction in public space. It is investigating how these specific  
languages, spaces of cultural meaning, can be translated into media  
art projects, in which similarities from African and Latin American  
cities can be found and re-interpreted in Amsterdam.
Architecture plays an important part in the formation of national  
identities and, hence, the project holds a great potential of allowing  
artistic examinations into national boundaries, similarities and trans- 
national visions.
Tutor: Alexis Anastasiou, Director / VJ of Visualfarm (BR)
Selected artists for the workshop: Gloria Arteaga (PE), Lucas Bambozzi  
(BR), Edwin van der Heide (NL), Doung Jahangeer (ZA), Walter Langelaar

This event includes three semi-public lectures. These evening sessions

viewpoints as possible, and will foster discussions about the workshop  
theme among artists, theoreticians, cultural workers and audience. The

discussion among the participants (English spoken).
