Event details
Digital culture has radically changed how we relate to ourselves and others, shaping intimate moments and mediating the spaces between public and private realms of life.This exploratory series understands these as ‘postdigital’ in that they change real, physical lived experience, rather than existing wholly in the digital. Defined in this way, Postdigital Intimacies addresses important issues in how we make sense of our minds, bodies, relationships and emotional worlds.
