Connecting Cities Urban Media Lab
12 June - 20 June 2014
Urban Media Lab Masterclass results
'Oscillating Cities' performed by the FM Orchestra. Chris Wood will construct a dynamic sound environment built from local radio, field recordings and internet radio from distant locations retransmitted over FM. The square at Comte de Flandres will be re-imagined as a dense sonic space, rich with hidden signals made audible by multiple radio receivers.
This project aims to explore a new way to present historical content for mobile users. The "Grand-Place" is a UNESCO´s World Heritage site, but also it is a stage for several historical and contemporary events. With Augmented Reality tool, it is possible to access those events and information in a different way, using just your mobile phone (with junaio app) to enter in this world, and find out more about why the Grand Place is a fascinating and important part of Brussels.
You can already already download the Junaio app on your device: click here!
What if a tree takes your bad memories away and grows good memories for you?L’arbre à mémoire is a participatory urban intervention on a public artwork L’arbre à palabra, which invites people to rituals of throwing bad memories and grow good ones.
Home Sweet Home is the second event of HOME network, a portable, netless Wi-Fi network, carried by the artists within the urban environment. During the event, the network will be transmitting its signal from Place Sainte Catherine. Search for the Home_Sweet_Home Wi-Fi network, connect with your devices and interact!
(The netless Wi-Fi network used a TP-Link TL-MR3020 device with OpenWRT embedded linux)
