On one hand urbanscreen is a group of free media artists and architects, dealing with research and development of experimental media installations with the aim to stage urban areas. On the other hand urbanscreen acts as a professional agency which translates the creative potential of this current art form onto the dialogue between commerce and art.
We are interested in getting in touch with anyone working in the field of experimental motion graphics and new media art to establish interesting cooperations as well as getting new inspiration. Please contact us with any question or idea. "
" Large-scale projection on urban surfaces - this is our creative company's field of activity. We conceive and produce custom-made media installations using high artistic standards, an architectural approach and a consistently professional completion; in doing so, creating uniquely outstandig impressions.
Since 2004 URBANSCREEN has been working on media concepts for the public sphere within a dynamic and diverse network of artists, architects and technical experts. Founded in 2008, the company URBANSCREEN GmbH & Co. KG develops these concepts and transfers them into a dialog between art and marketing. Our clientele not only includes large enterprises in the fields of logistics and the automotive industry but customers in the art and cultural scene as well.
Every installation's central starting point is the architecture, or more generally said, the surface which it is projected on. The spatial context, the thematic addition to the object and the context of the performance interconnect, becoming the central driving forces behind any creation. We see ourselves not primarily as service providers, but as independent producers who face every order's requirement with an open and fresh mind.
Through our intensive experience of staging architecture we have developed a procedure for a custom-made projection: LUMENTEKTUR. Through exact measuring the projection is adapted precisely to the locality. This provides direct reference to and interaction with the background. Particularly in the era of reproducible media the product thereby acquires a clear reference to time and space, which gives it a distinctive uniqueness.
Thus, besides being a registered technical process, LUMENTEKTUR has also become a fundamental approach within our working process. The superposition of material structures with a custom-made virtual skin opens up a creative potential, which we are pursuing intensely. Hence, LUMENTEKTUR represents the central tool and topic of URBANSCREEN
We are open and willing to discuss any proposal. "

"How it would be, if a house was dreaming"
The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture - the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers "Galerie der Gegenwart". Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves - describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.

JUMP | media facade | urban screening from urbanscreen on Vimeo.
The project “Jump” is focusing on mapped video projection with a strict reference to architectural structure. The house front has been rebuilt in a studio setting with a proportion of 1:1,4. The setup becomes a stage for artists and performers. Later the captured video content is projected on the building.
