Join us on March 20, 2009 in the auditorium of the former Philips NatLab on the Kastanjelaan at Strijp S in Eindhoven for the first in our series of evenings dedicated to BALTAN Laboratories’s Poème Numérique research programme.

This first evening will focus on (interactive) media facades. We have invited Tim Edler of realities:united, a Berlin-based studio for art, architecture and technology and winner of the Kunstpreis Berlin 2009, Förderungspreis Baukunst, to give a lecture on their recent work, in dialogue with Maurer United Architects. In addition, artists BULL.MILETIC from Norway will also present one of their latest works in progress currently being developed for a new performing arts centre in Kristiansand, Norway.
