This paper looks at the growing phenomenon of large-scale LED screen in prominent city centre locations and asks fundamental questions about the nature of the spaces and locations in which they are placed. In this investigation three key themes come to light that have a critical impact on the experience of urban space:
• The mediation of place [...]

Introduction
There has been a significant impact on the visual appearance and experience of the urban environment as a consequence of the emergence of augmented public space.
