grid ist ein neues Magazin, das sich mit dem Verhältnis von Gesellschaft, Raum und digitaler Technik auseinandersetzt. Wir eröffnen Einblicke in aktuelle Forschung und wissenschaftliche Praxis. Für Forschende, Studierende und andere Menschen, die sich für die räumlichen Dimensionen des digitalen Wandels interessieren. Read more →
Expanding digital connectivity and services has become a key political priority. At the same time, digital technologies are contested, raising concerns around inequality, surveillance, exploitation, and exclusion. "Disentangling" refers to the social practices and spatial strategies used to resist these trends by severing digital connections. Read more →
A 'glitch' is an unexpected disruption in a digital systems. Originally a technical term, it has inspired researchers to consider glitches as an entry point for critique and intervention. At the 2023 Digital Geography conference in Mainz, panelists discussed the potential and limitations of glitch as a conceptual lens. Read more →
The widespread use of digital applications generates large amounts of information, which can also be used for surveillance and control. What new mechanisms of surveillance are emerging, what new forms of visibility? And for what types of politics are they being used or misused?

Glitches are unexpected and often incidental disruptions in digital systems. But they are not purely technical issues. Frequently, they reveal how heavily societal processes rely on the smooth functioning of digital machines. As such, glitches can offer new or surprising perspectives on the changing relationship between society and digital technology.

Digital technologies are transforming how we produce knowledge and process information. And the application of digital technologies changes methods and perspectives of social science research. However, as they reshape our view of the world, digital knowledge and knowledge production are also controversial and contested.

Digital technologies have the potential to profoundly transform and extend scientific methods. Novel tools require a certain level of technological knowledge to be integrated into empirical research. What are these digital tools like? What opportunities do they offer and what new challenges do they pose?
