Abstract

This introduction offers an overview of the different sociospatial practices of the contemporary geomedia environment which are discussed in the collected essays of this symposium. Although they have varied theoretical and practical approaches, ranging from media theory and media and communication sociology to urban media studies, game studies and the digital arts, all the essays in the collection bring to the fore the performativity of places, which locative-mobile interfaces make increasingly visible and traceable today, urging us to consider - contingently as well as conjoinedly - the mobility and positionality of any location.
