Abstract

The contemporary urban landscape is an emerging territory for experimentation in the field of interactive installations. The city seems to be coated by a sensitive yet invisible and reactive skin able to perceive, decode, connect and store multiple stimuli received from the natural environment. Its real time reactions often belong to an emotional, synaesthesic and almost irrational communication realm. The practice of interactive design, through its operative and sense horizons, is an appropriate tool to detect and interpret some of the many contradictions of our Contemporary urban condition in its struggle with a still strong Modern vision of the world: for example the subtractive aesthetic of modernity (less is more) has been transformed by the immateriality of the digital realm into an aesthetic of disappearance (Paul Virilio) and into an aesthetic of relations.
