Hole in the Earth
The project Hole in the Earth linked the audience in Rotterdam with people in Indonesia on the other side of the world through screens, camera, and microphones in an installation resembling a well.
Face Your World
Jeanne van Heeswijk's project Face Your World – which took place in Columbus, Ohio, in 2002 – gave children on a bus access to a multi-user computer game allowing them to redesigning their communities as they envisioned them. At three bus stops, the creations were displayed on special screen sculptures presenting the results of the game to the urban community. As van Heeswijk put it, "It's about the way people look at the space around them. With everything being privatized now, people don't view the community as their own any more."
Urban Screens are defined as various kinds of dynamic digital displays in urban space that are used in consideration of a well balanced, sustainable urban society – screens that support the idea of public space as space for creation and exchange of culture, or the formation of a public sphere through criticism and reflection. Their digital and networked nature makes these screening platforms an experimental visualization zone on the threshold of virtual and urban public space.

Interactive Displays in Public Space

Digital immersion is moving into public space. Interactive screens and public displays are deployed in urban environments, malls, and shop windows. Inner city areas, airports, train stations and stadiums are experiencing a transformation from traditional to digital displays enabling new forms of multimedia presentation and new user experiences.

Startcast
StartCast is uncovering the people behind Australian startups
The Australian startup community is hugely decentralized. Even if you go to all the meetups, attend all the events and read all the blogs you’re only ever exposed to a portion of what’s really going on in the Aussie scene.
StartCast...aims to provide transparency into the Australian startup scene by helping people inside and outside of the startup community to find cool projects, relate to talented people and get inspired.

Kickstart
http://www.kickstarter.com
Kickstarter is the largest funding platform for creative projects in the world. Every week, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields.
A new form of commerce and patronage. This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.
All or nothing funding. On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. Creators aren’t expected to develop their project without necessary funds, and it allows anyone to test concepts without risk.
Each and every project is the independent creation of someone like you. Projects are big and small, serious and whimsical, traditional and experimental. They’re inspiring, entertaining and unbelievably diverse.

Infomatics Presentation
Presentation to QUT Infomatics Research Lab (Creative Industries) having been invited by Marcus Foth to present to his PHD students. Some great feedback and advice from them. Their focus seems to be on the interfaces and technologies, but they were interested in the Social Enterprise aspect and how this could be implemented in public spaces.
Some of the PHD candidates came back to me with useful information on Interactive Urban Screens, projects that had been successful and unsuccessful.
