A month of Dutch media in Shanghai

In August the Dutch Culture Centre will be dedicated to digital art and new media. Innovative Dutch and Chinese artists, architects and digital media makers demonstrate how media, art and technology can contribute to the design of a future city. Adaptation: Designing The Future City consists of an exhibition by V2_ and the Dynamic City Foundation and a forum with Neville Mars.Those who decide to stay at home can follow some of the activities online.

Forum: Green from Scratch

Why don’t new sustainable cities look any different from twentieth-century ‘car cities’? Why is a sustainable city being constructed in the centre of the largest industrial area in the world? Can technology provide all the solutions required for a sustainable future? 

The day after the opening, of the exhibition Adaptation: Designing The Future City, Neville Mars of the Dynamic City Foundation will host an ongoing 'organic debate' in the forum From Scratch to Green. A panel of thirty internationally recognised specialists will discuss how a sustainable city can be actually realised.

Exhibition (14 August - 5 September 2010)
The exhibition includes 3rd I (Third Eye), a miniature utopian city by V2_ with interactive robots operated by the visitors (both in Shanghai and in Rotterdam), and Genetic City, a 46-metre long video installation by DCF that showcases design proposals for green cities of the future. The exhibition opens on 14 August >>read more
