Navigation in Online/Offline Spaces (A03)

• Subject Area: Theatre and Media Studies
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 262513311

The sub project explores how media and space are mutually constituted through navigational prac-tices by empirically exploring media supported and sensor-based urban micronavigation and advanc-ing a media-theory of micronavigation. Based on two case studies – navigation with augmented reali-ty devices and navigation with e-bikes/scooters – A03 examines if and how seamlessness between online and offline spaces, diverse transport modalities, bodies and apps, as well as between human senses and sensors is realised in practice. Doing so, it inquiries into how sensory-media environments and ,environing media‘ are cooperatively accomplished in this process.
