The timeline depicts international media facades with their different artistic, social or brand messages up to interfaces like iPhone Apps or brain sensors for public participation. The movie is a shortened version of the lecture, „The semiotics of media facades – When buildings start to twitter” that was presented at the Parsons The New School for Design in New York.

It was great that you have been our guest at the Media Architecture Biennale in Vienna! Here are some photos from the opening and the conference

More documentation will follow.

Students for the Hogeschool van Amsterdam brought a facade mock up of the Galleria Seoul Shopping Center with them to build it up for the Media Architecture Biennale. In addition they also found space in their cars for the brand new Luma Space, a product which was developed by Rogier van der Heide, the chief design officer of Philips with the students.

They showed a lot of patience with mounting all the glass disks on the Galleria mock up and a lot of team spirit while working out how to hang the Luma Space panels in the exhibition hall. The students were superviced in this process by Dick Vonk, their professor.

A Big Thank You! to them!
