In the lead-up to the Media Architecture Biennale 2016<\/a>, held in Sydney in June 2016,\u00a0Urban Screen Productions<\/a> (UTV) are producing an all-day symposium investigating how technologies are redefining community engagement and the creation of public space.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Digital Publics<\/a> symposium explores new approaches to public space focusing on the layers of connection and cultural experience that are introduced by media technologies, also referred to as\u00a0digital placemaking or open-source placemaking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Presented by Fed Square<\/a> and Pause Fest<\/a> and produced by UTV, Digital Publics brings timely voices together from the creative practices, institutions and research projects that work in an evolving field of public engagement, urban screens and placemaking in the digital age.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In a forum held at one of the world\u2019s most iconic public spaces, Fed Square, each of the speakers will share insights on how digital innovations are bringing communities together and shaping new spatial encounters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
