Media art in open urban environment. Mnemonic traces and new challenges

Summary/Abstract: The proposed paper is in the frame of the discussion about the new challenges, provoked by the so-called media art in open urban environment for the citizens during the last decades. The main objective is to analyse the processes of interweaving of city culture, everyday life and new technologies in the digital era. The approach is interdisciplinary, complemented by the methods and scientific apparatuses of the key humanities and social sciences, media studies, communication theory, cybernetics, etc. Some outstanding artists and works are put in focus as well as the project One Person of the Bulgarian artist Venelin Shurelov from 2020, which is given as an example of high-tech installation challenging the mnemonic problems of the past and the current city life. It was temporary situated in the centre of Sofia at the place of the demolished Georgi Dimitrov’s Mausoleum in 1999.
