The design is expected to be installed by mid-July and the temporary treatment will remain in place for approximately eight months and will be monitored and maintained by the Times Square Alliance.

Call for art projects on the theme ‘The City as Interface'
Impakt online invites artists, architects, urban planners, researchers, programmers and the like to submit their proposals for online projects that consider the city as interface, buildings as responsive surfaces, mobile phones as tools for playing and mapping, and technological traces as data for art and research.
Impakt online is a platform for Internet art, powered by Impakt and curated by Sabine Niederer. Impakt is an organization for innovative and interdisciplinary audio-visual arts, both nationally and internationally, that resides in the Dutch city of Utrecht.
With the Impakt Festival focusing on ‘The Matrix City' this year, Impakt online 2010 offers a space to explore the concept of ‘The City as Interface'.
About the Call
In December 2009, the Institute of Network Cultures (INC) organized an event on Urban Screens in which artists, architects and theorists presented their research and design projects that regarded the city as a space of informatics, buildings as interactive surfaces, and mobile phones as pocketsize urban screens. With this call, Impakt online wishes to build on this research and design practice, and collaborate with the INC, the International Urban Screens Association, and other parties such as Vurb.eu and De Verdieping on commissioning new works within this field of interest.
Engaging with changing conceptions, structures and practices of urban landscapes, the Impakt online topic of ‘The City as Interface' works meaningfully with the Impakt Festival's overall theme of Matrix City
Impakt online will select and support a total of three online projects to be presented at Impakt online. In addition, applicants may submit a proposal for a residency at Impakt Headquarters in Utrecht, which includes a workspace and housing facilities for a period of two months.
Please submit your proposal (max 1000 words) and a short bio (max 500 words) to online@impakt.nl. Deadline for project proposals: April 31, 2010
For residency proposals, please submit your proposal (max 1000 words) and a short bio (max 500 words) to online@impakt.nl. Deadline for residency proposals: March 31, 2010
