Come and explore how with new Augmented Reality technologies we can use the advertising on our streets to create real-world ad blockers or digital exhibition spaces that present our own artwork and ideas. Participants will first explore some of the basic concepts behind Augmented Reality and then use modified Snapchat filters to create their own digital intervention in the city.

How can ad-busting be a mean of hacking the city and reclaiming the streets? The american artist Jordan Seiler visits Oslo and will in his talk illustrate why he believes that public space and the public's interaction with that space is a vital component of our city's health, drawing upon two decades of experience at the forefront of numerous ground-breaking civic media projects. Seiler has been on a mission since the early 2000´s to make the visual realm in public space more democratic by challenging the predominance of outdoor advertising.

How can people with different needs coexist in Oslo´s many urban spaces? Historically and every day, drug users are chased, discriminated and not tolerated in the public spaces of the capital.

Wednesday November 20 / Intercultural Museum / 17-21

What does a protest look like? Demonstrations, protests and marches are different ways of expressing our selves in public spaces - often with a goal of gaining visibility and promoting a message or a cause. Use of posters, banners and signs can be described as classic tools in demonstrations - how can demonstration signs and posters be created and designed in new ways? Join in and experiment with us!
 
Action City invites Action Workshop: Creating Protest with Colombian artist Reyes Santiago Rojas. For several years, Rojas has worked with the use of cardboard boxes and boxes from different countries to create collages and signs. It is both a commentary on the consumer society, but the collages also become aesthetic objects in which different colors, symbols and numbers on the packaging are highlighted in new ways. At the workshop, Rojas will introduce and share his methods, pull together and find materials and put them together into signs.
