Description
Conference: Geomedia 2021: Off the Grid. Siegen University, Germany (online), May 5-9.Abstract: This talk is firmly situated in the current moment; a time when we are going in and out of states of lockdown, our movements suspended, rerouting our passages in public space, and reshaping and reflecting on our new/old habits of connection. This moment perhaps asks not so much questions of if, or how to go off the grid, but rather of how to re-enter, or remain on it. Or perhaps: how can we actively, productively and response-ably “do the distance”? In an effort to respond to the pandemic situation in which rules for distance intervene in our personal and public spaces, as well as the spaces for scholarly work and exchange, I will suggest some conceptual coordinates that together offer a creative humanities perspective on the shaping of shared spaces for mobility, presence and distance. This perspective brings together new materialist thinking and media and performance studies and design.
