The media facade was conceived in 2003 by realities:united as an artistic media space and has had a new programme player since last year. Equipped with lamps from a pre-digital era, the programmable and dimmable 911 pixels mediate between time and the interior and exterior worlds.

In 2025, the new technology will be put to the test by two prominent projects. In the summer semester, Birgit Bachler's Master's course in Information Design will launch a series entitled The Power of Urban Interfaces, a joint course run by Kunsthaus Graz and the University of Applied Sciences, which will push the communication tool in the centre of the city to the limits of its technical possibilities from the students' perspective. The insights gained will then be used in the summer to launch the competition on the topic of ‘Radical Hope’, which will be a focus of the Kunsthaus mediation programme in the annual focus on dealing with power.
