  submission Deadline: June 30th  2007

  SCREEN-SCAPES:

  Screen technologies have become an integral part of the urban 
landscape. From the gigantic screens that adorn the sides of city 
buildings to the hand held screens of mobile phones and personal media 
players, screen technologies inform the architectural, economic and 
experiential parameters of our urban locales. For this special edition 
of Refractory we are seeking papers that deal with screen technologies 
and the spaces that they occupy. Large or small, outdoors or indoors, 
public or private, we want to know your thoughts on how screen 
technologies shape and influence the urban environment.

  A broad and multi-disciplinary approach to this topic is encouraged. 
Possible areas of consideration may include, but are not restricted to:

   Discussions of the affective/ economic/ architectural/ geographic/ 
sensory/ and experiential influences of screen technologies

   Analyses of screen cultures – festivals/ cinemas/ drive-ins/ 3D 
screens/ outdoor cinemas/ independent exhibitions

   Digital technologies and multi-platform release mechanisms

   Historical influences on screen technologies and entertainment space
