Public screens and their transformation of social interactions in public spaces

该项目将在澳大利亚首次对公众与大电子屏幕的互动进行分析。在世界各地的城市中，在公共场所安装大屏幕的规模正在迅速扩大。我们的项目将探索这些屏幕支持新的文化实践和产生新的社会互动的潜力。这项研究涉及对欧洲、亚洲和北美的银幕以及墨尔本联邦广场的大银幕进行跨文化比较。该项目的战略价值在于它有能力为公共政策提供信息，并增进对中介社会中公共文化动态的了解。

This project will provide the first Australian analysis of public interaction with large electronic screens. The installation of large screens in public spaces is rapidly expanding in cities around the world. Our project will explore the potential for these screens to support new cultural practices and generate new social interactions. The research involves a cross-cultural comparison of screens in Europe, Asia and North America, along with the 'Big Screen' in Federation Square, Melbourne. The strategic value of the project is its capacity to inform public policy, and to improve understanding of the dynamics of public culture in mediated societies.
