Digital cities for the contemporary, interactive screen can function as vehicles for the study and the illustration of current aspects of urban development. Cinematic urban landscapes, ephemeral constructions with moving image and sound onto the two-dimensional plane of the celluloid, offer their methodological toolset to the study of the multi-dimensional digital screen. This presentation demonstrates, with the use of specific research examples, the potential for carrying out in-depth analyses of urban phenomena with the aid of descriptive metadata about filmed spaces, their statistical processing and the spatial visualisation of the information. Finally, this presentation explores the way new, digital spaces may materialise via the creative reuse of archival, audiovisual database assets on architecture and the city.

The modern viewer is familiar with the cinematic paradigm, in which he or she is fixed in a darkened auditorium. In this case, the projected image acts as a viewing window into the picture space. However, the current audio-visual technologies introduce new viewing modes. This thesis traces the spatial evolution of the projection system (projector, picture, screen surface, projection beam), during the transition from analogue to digital technology, in inter-war experimental film, 1960s expanded cinema, video art and current multimedia installations. The work of the Australian-born new media artist and researcher Jeffrey Shaw is used as a case-study. Shaw emerged from the performance, expanded cinema and installation paradigms of the 1960s, currently being a leading figure in new media art.

Recent years have seen the development work on the "places of memory" in an essentially museum or conservatory perspective. The historians of religions, ethnologists, linguists, on the other hand, take into account the long time, even when the work focus, as seen today, transitions, passages, mutations rather than permanence. They have to deal with the accumulation, strata and inheritance. This aspect is particularly clear when we examine the intimate relation between a territory and a human organization which discovers into territory supernatural entities and deciphers it into its elementary signs before it print it with its own inscriptions and receive from it reading of signs of its own destiny. The surface of the earth, as a palimpsest, keeps track underneath the new writing of territory, of its older versions. A symbolic elaboration of the territory, alive, cumulative and continuous, not without crises and changes of rhythm, seems also crucial in shaping the individual than in structuring the society. The size, irreversibility and potential entropic of the changes that economic and political developments of the last two centuries have brought into the human cultures appear clearly if we manage to uncover the repressed versions of links that societies have into the time and space weaved with the places where they dwell, — these early "texts" (in the etymological sense of the word) that we find filed, deeply buried in the memory, often forgotten, in the trips, the gestures and body as well as in the language and representations.
