"A remarkably insightful culmination of over a decade of the author’s engagement with urban screens, Urban Screens: Situations, Practices, Concepts offers a nuanced and multi-faceted set of frameworks and methods for effectively analyzing the screens that co-constitute our urban environments."– Stephanie DeBoer, The Media School, Indiana University "Verhoeff offers thoughful insights not only for scholars but for designers and curators of urban screens. This book is a welcome resource for practitioners of urban media art to develop a nuanced understanding of the relational dynamics that shape media in urban space.” – Kristy H.A. Kang, Arizona State University "This book offers a welcome stock-take of contemporary developments in urban screens understood as both material and conceptual practices. Verhoeff uses close reading to explores the layered arrangements that bring screens, bodies and places into specific, situated conjunctions. Her book advances the idea that curating urban screens has the potential to contribute to distinctive modes of urban criticality and care." – Scott McQuire, University of Melbourne "A unique and compelling book that will be of interest to a range of thinkers and makers across media studies, cinema studies, performance studies, and the humanities. Verhoeff outlines the unique potential of screens as objects to think through, on, and with — and deftly connects this to wider questions (and stakes) of identity and perception." – Dave Colangelo, Toronto Metropolitan University
