Centre for the Study of the Networked Image
To study and gain new knowledge and understandings of a set of related objects, the centre has established four research networks, which seek to disassemble and reassemble ideas of photography, computation, curation, archives and performance within network practices. Research projects define specific objects of attention and specific questions, whilst the research networks test approaches and methods in order to seek connections in networked practices.
