Media Facades Festival Helsinki 2010


Media Facades Festival will explore the networked possibilities of urban screens and media facades via internet and new technologies on a European level. The format of the Media Facades Festival reflects on the increasing presence of massive-infrastructures with digital visual elements in public spaces while investigating their communicative function in the urban environment.

Here are some of the projects in Helsinki area:

Giants of the Hoods is an interactive mobile guerrilla art influenced by street performance and urban VJ intervention. In the project, local residents will create visual characters present in their neighbourhood.

The Air Hunger project creates a large-scale interactive projection, where the breathing pattern of a participant generates a landscape for a virtual character to move.
People can participate in the projection by wearing a wireless breath rate-monitoring belt around their chest.
