Urban Media & The Public Sphere

Martijn de Waal
Martijn de Waal

The document discusses how new media and technology are influencing the modern public sphere. It describes how coffee houses in the 17th century served as places for public discussion around cultural objects, and how newspapers at the time included user-generated content. It then outlines how contemporary technologies like GPS, CCTV, WiFi, and augmented reality can be leveraged to surface community issues and enable public participation and ownership over issues. Specific projects are highlighted that use citizen-provided data and media installations to bring issues back into public spaces and turn civic participation into engaging spectacles.
