Signs of the City: Metropolis Speaking - Softcover
The modern city always exerts a semiotic bombardment: we are surrounded on all sides by a pictographic labyrinth, whether in notices, posters, graffiti or advertising. But with the use of digital cameras and GPS receivers, this bombardment can be turned into a tool for creativity, for the pursuit of chance associations and synchronicities. In Signs of the City, teenagers and young adults in Barcelona, Berlin, London and Sofia do just that, with the aid and encouragement of professional artists. The book is the result of a project that lasted one year, incorporating workshops, online activities, conferences and exhibitions, and that initiated a network between over 30 institutions. The perspectives that emerge from the lenses of these teenagers and young adults are of course fresh and surprising, and offer new takes on the four European metropolises, through the most innovative possibilities of data processing.

Book Description paperback. Condition: Neu. Neu Neuware, auf Lager - Die Großstadt ist ein Meer der Zeichen: ob Schilder, Plakate, Graffiti oder Werbung, wir sind umgeben von einem aufregenden bildhaften Labyrinth. Mit Digitalkameras und GPS-Receivern haben Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene diesen semiotischen Raum erkundet, der zu immer neuen Verknüpfungen und Assoziationen einlädt. Begleitet und angeregt von professionellen Künstlern, werden sie zu Autoren des urbanen Lebens der Gegenwart. Entstanden sind nicht nur faszinierende und oft überraschende Blicke auf die europäischen Metropolen Barcelona, Berlin, London und Sofia, sondern die vier Städte werden mittels innovativer Möglichkeiten der Datenverarbeitung derart visuell miteinander verwoben, dass ein nie gesehenes neues Bild der europäischen Stadt entsteht.Darüber hinaus zeigt Signs of the City Metropolis speaking die gesamte Bandbreite dieses über einjährigen Projekts Workshops, die Foto-Community im Internet, Ausstellungen und Konferenzen und stellt das Netzwerk von rund 30 Institutionen vor. 176 pp. Englisch.
