In the 2nd part of her talk, Sabine Himmelsbach, the artistic director of the HeK (http://www.haus-ek.org), presents the concept of the exhibition Sensing Place. Mediatizing the Urban Landscape focussing on new ways of interaction with urban space filled with streams of data and increasingly percieved through technology. She discusses chosen works from the exhibition (by Timo Arnall, Jorn Knutsen and Einar Sneve Martinussen, SENSEable City Lab, Christina Kubisch and Ursula Damm) that in different ways deal with information and communication layers of the contemporary city by making them visible, audible or by turning them into algorithmic processes allowing new ways of seeing and experiencing urban landscape.

Selected materials focus on the urban landscape and deal with the social use of sensing technology, trying to make information sphere visible, audible or even make an effort

" (…) to find a new artistic expression that go beyond the typical visualisation of data (…) It is a precognitive way od seeing."
