Lentos Kunstmsueum/Museum of Modern Art Linz, Austria 19 April–27 May 2007 Compiled by UK artist, Anthony Auerbach, the Video as Urban Condition project explores how video shapes urban experience. Video is a medium of mass production, mass participation and mass consumption. Video as Urban Condition recognizes the diversity of activity in the field and challenges the participant to reflect on how the relations of representation in society are mediated by video.

Video as Urban Condition examines a medium whose most distinctive characteristics are multiplicity and diversity, a form, which is not contained by the norms and institutions of art nor by the exclusive domains of professionals.
