MediaCity 4: Call for Urban Works
DEADLINE: December 17, 2012

MediaCities
International Conference, Workshops and Exhibition
University at Buffalo, The State University of New York
May 3-5, 2013

MediaCities is pleased to announce an open call for projects in and around
the city of Buffalo, New York, in conjunction with the MediaCities
conference.

Following this year’s theme, the event will instigate a number of new
urban works of media-architecture. These may be take various formats and
physical configurations: a constructed intervention, an event, a
deployable device or a combination thereof.

Proposed projects address specific themes around pluralities and
globalities, particularly as they appear in some of the possible topics
that have already been identified in the call for papers:
	• the contexts of non-Western cities and post-industrial societies (Other
Urbans);
	• protest, public space, and contested shared urban events (Uncommons);
	• new life in dead and dying urban milieux (Zero Growth Cities);
	• cross-scale urban landscapes (Media Geographies) and,
	• trans-national urban cities (Bordervilles).

More information on these topics is available here: http://mediacities.net

We are interested in exploring a multitude of media cities, beyond
recognized and robust bodies of work that privilege familiar uses of media
(such as urban screens) and cities (such as major European and American
centers of industry, finance and culture).

We anticipate commissioning 3 projects with budgets up to 5000 USD.
