Instacity Project

Instacity is a research blog dedicated to examining visual representations and narratives of cities within contemporary digital communication technologies.

This blog investigates how urban spaces are being visually reimagined through Instagram, exploring emerging forms of digital photography and their influence on urban perception and understanding. These practices develop through the mediation of smartphones and the evolving nature of photography in our interconnected digital landscape.

The research blog addresses both academic specialists and engaged readers interested in the visual and digital cultures of urban environments.
