"In the emerging field of artistic research, sensory and embodied ways of knowing take center stage. At the same time, qualitative social scientists and geographers are developing a keen interest in new methodologies that draw inspiration from the arts. This timely volume on the nexus of arts and mobilities research stages an engaged dialogue between leading academic scholars and artists."Henk Borgdorff, Academy of Creative and Performing Arts, Leiden University, the Netherlands"Unique in its approach, this brilliant collection of essays integrates the theoretical and methodological analysis of networked urban mobilities in ways that will reshape how scholars and practitioners engage philosophically and materially with emerging entanglements of artistic, scientific, and technological imaginaries in the twenty-first century."Mary Mostafanezhad, Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, US
