TO BE SEEN | TRT 26:40 | December 2005
To Be Seen is a study of visual culture, of urban culture and an exploration of an age-old urban cultural phenomenon, street art. This form of art, that is not a commodity (there is no price tag), that is somewhat ephemeral, and that tends to address current political and/or cultural issues, is examined as a form of public expression, a form of media and a means of political and social protest. Distributed by First Run Icarus Films and broadcast on REEL/NY (WNET/PBS).

New screen based sign systems are putting TV-style advertising into the public domain in cities around the globe. These electronic signs are re-shaping urban environments and re-defining areas of public space by intensifying the commercialization of the public sphere. In addition to the explosion of screens in public spaces, screens are ubiquitous in workspaces and in people's daily life activities. These seamless, illuminated electronic surfaces are becoming the devices through which we frame our experiences. Electric Signs explores this new screen culture as it unfolds in Hong Kong and New York City.
