About our Lab

Digital Society Lab [DigiLab] explores the impact of information and communication technologies on society, politics, economy, industries, culture, and art practices, examining how the processes of ubiquitous digitalization affect and transform all aspects of our lives on both individual and collective level.

The Lab provides stimulating research in a highly interdisciplinary setting. It attracts both national and international researchers from diverse fields of study, including social psychology, sociology, philosophy, political science, cultural studies, critical theory, posthumanism / transhumanism, digital humanities, art theory, new media and communication studies, and technical and natural sciences. They work in close collaboration on tackling various socio-technological questions of our increasingly data-driven world.


Research topics:

Analysis and comparison between groups and their psychometric parameters in social media and application of artificial intelligence on data from social platforms (data science/big data/data mining), social dynamics of the digital space (fake news / echo chambers / polarization/online addiction), digital citizens / privacy/ surveillance/ activism / civil disobedience, media freedom / freedom of expression / democratic processes / digital governance / digital divide, body, identity, agency, and cognition in digitally mediated interactions and virtual environments, digital arts and culture/ art-science collaborations/ digitalization and cultural institutions/ cultural heritage, human – nonhuman relations and AI ethics / cultural and societal implications of AI / influence of AI on value-systems and decision making in forming societal policies
