Lilium 2022, a post-digital cine-symphonic mural, is situated within ephemeral media architecture and digital placemaking contexts. The film is a media essay on post-digital placemaking illustrated by the authors' own creative practice and the Lilium project they created. The work seeks to open a dialogue between citizens, place, space, and events in the sense of Juhani Pallasmaa's (2012) “lived space” to express the essence of a temporal “architecture of the mind”. Background influences include Mat Collishaw’s video installations and Jennifer Steinkamp's architectural animation.

Research Statement
Representing Pasts (15’50’’) an expositional film about post-digital placemaking Peter Thiedeke, John Ferguson, Andrew Brown Background Representing Pasts 2022 (15’55’’) is an expositional film about Lilium 2022, a post-digital cine-symphonic mural situated within ephemeral media architecture and digital placemaking contexts. The film is a media essay on post-digital placemaking illustrated by the authors own creative practice and the Lilium project they created. The work seeks to open a dialogue between citizens, place, space, and events in the sense of Juhani Pallasmaa's (2012) “lived space” to express the essence of a temporal “architecture of the mind”. Background influences include Mat Collishaw’s video installations and Jennifer Steinkamp's architectural animation. Contribution Representing Pasts uses sound, photography, and moving image to examine Regents Lane before and during Lilium. The first half of the work captures Regents Lane before Lilium was installed; a unique sonic and visual composition that foregrounds architecture and the sounds of the lane’s inhabitants. The second half of the work contrasts the first half using media captured at night, this amalgamates and recomposes sound and image captured at the site of Lilium while the installation was active. Overall, Representing Pasts contributes to innovative placemaking methods of civic engagement toward urban regeneration. Significance Representing Pasts was peer reviewed for inclusion at AMPS 2023 (Architecture Media Politics Society), a conference that foregrounds the intersection of History, Art, Design, Architecture and Film hosted by Queen’s University Belfast, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, National University of Singapore. The film won the AMPS YouTube Channel Award 2022 for excellence in scholarship and has been permanently archived on the AMPS Academic YouTube channel.
