RESEARCH / WORKSHOPS
Brief Encounters/Close-Up

As a next instalment of work about everyday life, D-Fuse are working with researchers from the Bartlett School of Architecture and the University of Nottingham. Screens in the Wild is a project incorporating a series of architectural interfaces in East London and Nottingham neighbourhoods, which use broadcast media and interactive technologies to enhance real world connections, add value to the daily experience of the urban environment, foster community participation and ownership of the urban space. In a number of workshops D-Fuse are building a collection of photos and descriptions that show the area from the view of the people who live there.
