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 â?? 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


Please submit completed articles of 3,000-7,000 words to the guest
