The dynamics, hostility and versatility of the public space in the last century will be illustrated within arts, literature and computing. Anastasia Zoi Souliotou will present her art projects, which are based on her own cyber flânerie. Dimitrios Makris will discuss the role of technology in viewing public spaces through cameras and the interaction between people and space. Theodore Tsekeris will discuss about the role and potential of Intelligent Transport Systems in shaping the contemporary urban space.
