- Diverse forms of spatial mobility are significant features of current social life. The rapid and converging development of space-transcending technologies (high-speed transportation and information and communication technologies) and still increasing virtual access to other places through media representation (e.g. news and popular culture) are thoroughly affecting people’s use of space and place. Decreased friction of distance, extended social networks and everyday activity patterns are major indicators of this. Gradually, spatial mobility is becoming institutionalised and expected, turning high levels of travel and communication from a choice to more of a necessity. Our projects aim to explore the development of various forms of spatial mobility and human interaction, be they physical, virtual, or media related. Their intricate interrelations in terms of complements, substitutes, displacements, and modifications − and the intersections between these − are a particular focus.
