presentation text:

In the context of the 5th graz biennial on media and architecture 07-11 November 2001 about 100 works on new media are presented, which document and reflect contemporary architecture and urban presentnesses. The connection of these reflections with both conferences Cityscapes - Imagineering the Urban Condition and Infoscapes - Processing Information / Communicating Architecture lets the biennial become a discouvery journey for people interested in art and architecture.

Out of the large program we want to introduce the conference Infoscapes and invite you to take part in the biennial in Graz.
Infoscapes - New Spaces - New Strategies for Communicating Architecture? Infoscapes presents 26 items and projects by architects, artists, designers and curators, who have addressed the

opportunities for the mediation of architecture and urbanism offered by the new media.
