ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the placemaking potential of the figuring of presence in the temporary and transitory states of inter-mediacy of urban screening situations. It asks how screening situations position urban subjects in their surroundings, thereby structuring, enabling, and limiting their potential movements and actions. The concept raises questions of how such scenographic acts pre figure—i.e. design to produce—dramaturgies of bodies and data with various placemaking, affective, and meaning-making effects. A set of related concepts (i.e. plotting , pointing , and posting , and following , tracing and drawing ) are proposed for examining the urban scenographies that are shaped by, and shaped in, urban screening situations of various kinds.
