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.
