Cell phones and E-mail, home shopping and the Internet-the "old" industrial societies have been turning into globally connected information societies quite on the sly. At the same time, the population is tending to retreat into its own four walls. Yet-or maybe for this reason-public urban spaces are becoming more and more important, having lost none of their significance as interfaces of human communication. This catalog is published in conjunction with the thirtieth anniversary of the Bremen program for public art. It features over thirty artists who have confronted urban and social aspects of the city and developed their own personal visions, utopias and fantasies of a life in and with the city.
