BEYOND MEDIA/OLTRE I MEDIA 03 takes place Florence from October 2nd to 12
2003,
dealing with the theme INTIMACY.
Which are today the spatial ambits of privacy, of protection, of safety, of
intimacy? According to which modes and within what boundaries does the
familiar, domestic dimension of the inhabited space take shape today? Which
characteristics do the environments built by new technologies around
individuals take on? What are the consequences of all this in architecture
and
design? Is it possible to design intimacy?
The seventh edition of the festival will answer these enquiries, pointing to
the most important changes produced by media in defining space, showing the
best projects relating to these themes.
Visitors will be lead to observe the inhabited space, the city and its
territory starting with an inquiry on the roles of films and television.
They
will then be conducted through the intricate workings of satellite devices,
information networks, mobile communication, instruments of control and
surveillance, so as to explore these elements and their effects on the
definitions of inhabited space.
