This book is an interdisciplinary empirical investigation of how
people interact with public screens in their daily lives. In more
and more surprising locations, screens of various kinds appear
within the sightlines of passers-by in contemporary cities. Outdoor
advertisers target audiences which are increasingly mobile, public
art uses screens to interrogate urban change, while postmodern
architecture finds electronic imagery a suitable tool of
expression. Traditionally, urban sociology research has assumed
that people seek to filter urban stimuli, but recent accounts of
public screens suggest producers design and position display
interfaces site-specifically, so as to engage with those moving
past. This study offers insight both into the dynamics of actual
encounters and into the long-term process of how people learn to
live with repeated invitations to consume media in public spaces.
The book includes four cases: street advertising, underground
transport advertising, and installation art in London (UK) and
media facade architecture in Zadar (Croatia). Krajina shows that
maintaining familiarity with everyday surroundings in media cities
that change beyond citizens' control is a temporary
achievement--and a recursive struggle.
