Within the framework of its Authoring the City [AtC] ‘24 hour meeting’ series, a special edition one day symposium is organised by the Jan van Eyck Academie design department at Stroom Art and Architecture, at the occasion of the installation of the Welcome to Fusedspace Database instalation, by four of the original AtC researchers: Tamara Maletic, Dan Michaelson, Sulki Choi, Min Choi.

Speakers are invited to reflect on and present projects which enhance public space by means of communication media. Examples will show how the flow of information today has merged almost seamlessly with the flow of goods, traffic, people — where computing has become ubiquitous.

Arguably our notion of ‘public’ and ‘private’ space is deeply influenced by its everyday mediation. The Matching Link will look into the information media which are at our disposal to ‘author our (own and each other’s) environment’: access and navigate its physical and/or information realities, contribute to them, shape and change their experience, organise ourselves in and through such ‘spaces’, and other issues relevant to everyday information manipulation.
