Emerging from ongoing research around interface criticism, the aim of this newspaper is to broaden the topic to encompass the changing concept of the ’public’. 

The newspaper is organized into three thematic strands: ART as public interface; the public interfaces of URBAN space; the public interface and CAPITAL. The newspaper brings together researchers within diverse fields – across aesthetics, cultural theory, architecture and urban studies – united by the need to understand public interfaces and the possible paradigmatic changes they pose to these fields.
