| description | This panel explores a range of strategies, poetics and possibilities
of media art in and of urban public space practiced
not in the spotlight but adjacent to and in the shadows
of the spectacle. Each paper envisions a different mode of
illumination, engagement and altered perception of our
urban environs, calling our attention to ways of being in
and sensing spaces and places that are often unnoticed,
invisible or taken for granted. From media artists’ interventions
that ask us to reflect upon the politics of disenchantment
with the media saturated everyday in urban
China, to the ways in which public art can potentially challenge
the conventions of art not as object but as acts or
gestures inscribed in the city itself and embodied in the
memories of its inhabitants, to the design of urban interfaces
that make visible overlooked cultural histories of peoples
and places in Singapore, these papers present an inquiry
into the ways in which urban media art can contribute
towards a re-imagining and nuanced perception of the
city’s corners, cracks and shadows and our sense of nature,
place, poetics and politics in public space. |
