Content of the Media Architecture Biennale 2020

The theme of MAB’s 6th edition is Futures Implied, which opens up investigations into future scenarios implied in today’s urban transformations and emerging technologies like digital platforms, responsive technologies and smart city promises. How can we shape technologies and spaces to respond to their surroundings, contributing to cities that are both socially and ecologically sustainable? The point of departure is that technologies are never neutral enablers, they are built upon numerous spoken and unspoken assumptions about urban life, each with their own implications for both social relations as well as their effect on the natural ecosystem.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

· The Aesthetics and Poetics of Responsive Urban Spaces

· Citizens’ digital rights in the era of platform ecologies

· Playful & Artistic Civic Engagement

· Designing Restorative Cities

More-Than-Human Cities MAB20 is organized by the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and the [urban interfaces] group at Utrecht University, in collaboration with the Media Architecture Institute.
