NomadicMilk project in CO-OPs book by Michiel de Lange
CO-OPs is the name of an ambitious project in which art and science are brought together at various levels and in a variety of media. The participants are concerned with the great challenges facing our society: the globalization, commercialization and technologization of almost every aspect of human life.
Michiel de Lange on the NomadicMILK project research: One of the central themes in NomadicMILK is mobility. Following social geographer Tim Cresswell (2006: 2-3) I will define mobility as “meaningful movement”. Although mobility is often understood as the possibility for movement, it is just as much shaped by all kinds of limitations. In the classical view on space and place, which goes back to Greek philosophy, space is an abstract entity, a kind of empty box. When people create and experience meaningful positions in space, you get places. Place in this view is “lived space”.
