Media Facades Festival Europe 2010

Screenings, installations, workshops and Live Broadcasting Events

Media Facades Festival Europe 2010 (MFF 2010) is an urban media art project that interconnects seven European cities through urban screens and media facades located in public spaces. Artists and media designers will show throughout Europe specially developed art projects, during screenings and Joint Broadcasting Events, opening a global window to create dialogue, share dreams and exchange ideas.

The Brussels part of the festival will feature digital projects by international artists on the new iMAL media Facade, the Flagey Screen and selected urban billboards in Brussels.

MFF 2010 will be closing during the Nuit Blanche in Brussels on 2nd of October. Buildings along the canal will be pulsating to the rhythm of the city, while signs and advertising displays will be transformed into virtual artworks.
