Lumalive - screens integrated in textiles of shirts and backpacks

Lumalive textiles make it possible to create fabrics that carry dynamic images. Will we soon carry around on jackets and backpacks our selfmade videos or favourites from youtube to share them with the urban public?

URBAN SCREENS investigates how the currently commercial use of outdoor screens and related infrastructure for digital moving images in urban space can be broadened with cultural content. We address cultural fields as digital media culture, urbanism, architecture and art. We want to network and sensitise all engaged parties for the possibilities of using the digital infrastructure for contributing to a lively urban society, binding the screens more to the communal context of the space and therefore creating local identity and engagement. The integration of the current information technologies support the development of a new integrated digital layer of the city in a complex merge of material and immaterial space that redefine the function of this growing infrastructure of digital moving images.
