LIVE THE CITY explores how to embed digital art in the urban context and how urban digital art contributes to shaping
neighborhoods, networking citizens and creating platforms for visualizing science and technologies. In opposition to the
commercial use of these urban media, the goal of the project is to establish them as platforms for co-creating and shaping
the human futures of our digital cities. What are new emerging forms of participation and digital place making? We see an
urgency to pose such questions, especially in Bangkok where a massive growth of media infrastructures and permanent digital advertisements are increasingly defining the urban experience. The project addresses a critical view towards the use of media
in the context of the city. In times of digital communication and smart cities, the communicative potential of the public space
is reinterpreted in manifold ways. Urban media environments connect physical space with the digital world and encourages city
inhabitants to actively and conjointly reshape the urban space.  The project is a collaboration between the Goethe-Institut,
the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, Siam Center and the ESIC Lab of King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi in
cooperation with Connecting Cities and is shown simultaneously in three locations in Bangkok:
