The demand for interactivity has reshaped every aspect of our culture. No longer content to simply observe and absorb, we expect to shape our environment and personalize our experience. Held at San Francisco's beautiful new McLoughlin Gallery, this salon will explore how cities, neighborhoods and cultural organizations are using interactive media to engage people in public spaces and create a sense of place. Join our eclectic panel as they show innovations from around the globe and hypothesize where this trend is going. Debate encouraged!
