Networked Cultures investigates the cultural transformations under way in Europe through examining the potentials and effects of networked spatial practices. Based at Goldsmiths, University of London, the project collaborates with art, architectural and urban practices across Europe and beyond to look at ways in which contested spaces allow for a multi- inhabitation of territories and narratives across cultural, social or geographic boundaries. Sites of alternative urban engagement are collected on a database and will be presented in a variety of formats, including exhibitions, films and books

Whether put into effect by transnational politics or global economies, new technologies or urban social movements, networks have become the defining characteristics of twenty-first-century social and spatial organisation. They have widely changed our cultural forms of cohabitation and communication over recent years. They have also changed the ways we produce and experience the spaces we live in: Cities, regions and larger entities of spatial cohesion are no longer fixed territories, but emerge as highly contested and instable topologies. They are performed and constituted by networks of interacting realities.
