ARTISTS EXPERIMENT WITH A NEW EXHIBITION FORMAT For the first time, the public will witness the use of not only cultural but also commercial facades of SAP, O2 World, Gasometer Schöneberg, Collegium Hungaricum Berlin and the Wall-Terminal as cultural communication portals. Twenty-four original artist works specifically commissioned for the different façades will be screened from 17 October until 3 November 2008. The artist works will focus on the exploration of site-specific content, space and dimension. The unique artistic productions and installations will also involve participation of the local inhabitants where the facades are situated in an attempt to generate a new sense of identity. The interaction amongst the commercial media facade operators, curators, artists and the general public facilitated through this festival will serve as testing ground for future creative and urban media developments. CONFERENCE AND ARCHITECTURE EXPOSITON Alongside, we present an international conference with a diverse range of speakers and an architectural exhibition comparing and providing details about worldwide unique media Facades at the German Architecture Center.
