About
Social Spaces is a research group at the Media & Design Academy department (KHLim) and the Arts & Architecture department (PHL).
Social Spaces is based on three pillars:
- public space
- social design
- social media
The aim of the cross-disciplinary social spaces group is to set an art, design and theoretical context for experimental research which might lead to imaginative, practical and participatory solutions for different (sometimes neglected) groups and spaces in society.
The ease of creating connections in a networked world provokes changes in many layers of society. We explore the social character of art, (new) media and design in this networked world.
Social Spaces also explores public and semi-public spaces and questions how alternative media interfaces, participatory art and design practices, methods and tools can be of an aid in the construction of human relationships in these spaces.
