Research @ the Centre
Through interaction across and between disciplinary boundaries, the Centre will act as a relay station between interests in art, theory and new technologies. A key feature will be promoting an understanding of new and emerging media technologies in a critically informed context that draws from innovative cultural theories. Hence, while promoting innovative practices and creative industry related research, the Centre functions as a 'conceptual laboratory' as well.
In this sense, the Centre relies on the synergies between inter- and transdisciplinary issues that are crucial in contemporary network society. The aim of the Centre is not only to reactively respond to changing media technological conditions, but to proactively map agendas and crucial questions that need addressing. Hence, it suggests the importance of arts and humanities informed practices and research in the technologically shifting cultural geographies where modes of agency, embodiment and knowledge are in a constant state of in-transit in transnational zones of articulation.
The centre has an overarching interest in the materiality of media and culture and this interest is present across our four main stands of research:
1) Digital Culture and Network Politics
2) Popular Culture, Media and Film
3) Cultural and New Materialisms
4) Experimental and Transgressive Cinema
