2nd International Workshop on (Re)Creating Lively Cities Through Ambient Technologies: Arts, Culture

Digital and interactive technologies are becoming increasingly embedded in everyday lives of people around the world. Application of technologies such as real-time, context-aware, and interactive technologies; augmented and immersive realities; social media; and location-based services has been particularly evident in urban environments where technological and sociocultural infrastructures enable easier deployment and adoption as compared to non-urban areas. There has been growing consumer demand for new forms of experiences and services enabled through technologies.

This workshop focuses on ambient media services, applications, and technologies that promote people’s engagement in creating and re-creating liveliness in urban environments, particularly through arts, culture, and gastronomic experiences. The workshop takes a multidisciplinary and future oriented approach, and welcomes participants from diverse disciplinary domains for open discussions about technological, sociocultural, and content-related aspects of ambient media services that support people’s engagement in (re)creating their urban environments into a livelier place through art, cultural, and gastronomic experiences.
