He has just shared with us his latest project, "YOUR TEXT HERE"...</p> <p> The city is constantly telling us what to do, what to think, and how to act. Using explicit visual language, a multiplicity of billboards, signs, images and symbols invade our public spaces in order to tell us something. YOUR TEXT HERE is a project that challenges this condition: Citizens are given the opportunity to change their role as receivers of information in order become the authors. The way it works is simple: you submit an anonymous text message in a website through your mobile phone, and in turn it is automatically projected at large scale onto the fa&ccedil;ade of a building.</p> <p> <img alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/d6/d6owxjwg6dcdy6nl.jpg" title=""></p> <p> "Public space is not something that is given or inherited, it must be fought for and defended constantly" says Marcos Zotes.</p> <p> <img alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/1i/1ie07xmi7wbj6i35.jpg" title=""></p> <p> YOUR TEXT HERE is a participatory, site-specific light installation that...</p> http://archinect.com/news/article/34031961/augmented-structures-architecture-beyond-visible Paul Petrunia 2012-01-10T14:46:00-05:00 >2012-01-18T01:57:12-05:00 <img src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/cf/cf6wudxq3mbdpws9.jpg" width="514" height="343" border="0" title="" alt="" /><p> Salon2 has shared with us their completed 400m2 architectural installation on the fa&ccedil;ade of Yap&#305; Kredi Bank Culture Building at Galatasaray Square in &#304;stanbul.</p> <p> The first stage in the Augmented Structures project with the Augmented Structures v1.1: Acoustic Formations / I&#775;stikla&#770;l Caddesi installation which reanimates phenomena (architecture, sound and visual arts) that appear to be completed and concluded.
