Poster Statement

The poster aims at examining urban change and the production of urban cultural space from the viewpoint of media. The focus is on how spaces and frequencies intertwine. Thus, urban media is seen as standing for both media of public space and media as public space. Especially various locative processes of street television are analysed as a mode of spatial intervention for re-imagining cities. The case of Helsinki, its specific media-space and the development of the m2hz urban channel are analysed in this context.
