The Future of Digital Signage in Public Spaces
🌍 Outdoor digital signage is an integral part of the urban ecosystem, from smart billboards to public service announcements. What’s next for digital signage in our cities?

"I was specially happy to see my friend Addam Yekutieli aka Know Hope @thisislimbo in the line up. I love his work and admire him for his social commitment. His talent for extracting #poetry from sentences and placing them in #publicspaces, to capture the moment is striking. He’s been a #thoughtful advocate for #peace and #justice , not just when it’s loud and popular, but really when it’s needed, which means all the time. Addam is portraid in this mural because he is the best fit and a great representative of our group of Streetartists. The idea for the wall was first this time. I had a deep desire to paint a calm #portrait - A wise observer." #case_maclaim June 17, 2024

Woher nimmt Wuppertal jedes mal dieses große Glück?

Wir schaffen es, bei wirklich wichtigen Dingen so oft, ganz tief ins Klo der Stadtgestaltung zu greifen. Neues Pflaster in Elberfeld und Barmen? Bei Wish bestellt. Die Fußgängerzonen für die kommenden Jahrzehnte fangen schon gruselig an. Das mehrfarbige Pflaster, das dort nun verlegt wird, kann eigentlich nur jemand ausgesucht haben, der Wuppertal weiter den Bach runter schicken will.

Bus Stop Chronicles

I just read that Martin Parr passed away yesterday. He was a giant in street photography circles with a fantastic library of unusual photos showing a slice of life wherever he had his camera.

I was lucky enough to attend a Zoom call he hosted last year, showing photos and telling stories.

So, today’s image has to be a street photo. A busy scene on St. Patrick Street, Cork in 2017.
