Do Billboards Dream Of Electric Screens? at Urban Screens Manchester
Thursday 11th to Sunday 14th October (See below for programme schedule) Do Billboards Dream Of Electric Screens? Trampoline brings an international programme of artists short films to Urban Screens Manchester as part of Trampolines 10th anniversary celebration taking place in November. Trampoline has chosen 16 short films that explore our relationship with the moving image in the public realm, subtle interventions that enter into dialogue with the influx of dynamic digital signage and advertising to our high streets and public spaces. The City, micro narrative and the Big Close Up are elements from film culture now re-imagined in the first programme, The Citizen while These Four Walls takes architecture and its relationship with the passers-by experience of advertising hoardings as its central theme. Do Billboards Dream of Electric Screens? uncovers artistic possibilities of this new digital infrastructure and alerts us to be aware of our developing urban surroundings. Urban Screens Manchester: IT'S ABOUT CONTENT! Urban Screens Manchester 07 explores the conditions for urban screens from a multitude of perspectives, making it relevant to media specialists, designers, artists, architects, urban planners, broadcasters and theorists. The omnipresence of public displays such as LED, LCD, plasma screens, large scale projections and media facades demands a critical reflection of their impact on cities and on our perceptions of them. At the same time, they offer new and exciting possibilities for artistic and non-commercial use as well as for community development and play. Urban Screens Manchester looks specifically at the creation of content, commissioning / funding issues, curatorship and the architectural possibilities of urban screens in the 21st century.
