INTERWEAVING TECHNOLOGIES – THE AESTHETICS OF DIGITAL URBAN LIVING

21-23 April 2010, Aarhus, Denmark

The urban environment is increasingly formed by the development of 
digital and mobile media. Although these new technologies are generic in 
structure, they shape the environment differently, based on the context 
and site in which they are interwoven.
