Nr. 18 PLACE@SPACE-(re)shaping everyday life

In PLACE@SPACE – (re)shaping everyday life, Z33 takes a look at the relationship between people and their spatial environment, art and technology. People are creative in ‘customising’, personalising and reorganising spaces every day to make spaces personal and intelligible to them. They make their own blogs, decorate their living rooms and follow their own route when walking through the city.

New technologies have made our surroundings more diverse, larger and more complex. In our global society it is easier to cross borders and we can even be ‘virtually’ present in different places simultaneously. Networked and digital environments interact with physical, mental, social cultural and historical spaces. These multi-layered, kaleidoscopic, or hybrid spaces provide a wealth of new impressions. Technology is also becoming more ‘ubiquitous’, by which we mean that technology is everywhere, concealed in the objects that surround us. In other words, technological networks have become less visible in our environment.
