Critical Infrastructure and Image Politics (CIIP) is a research group dedicated to investigating the politics of contemporary digital and visual cultures at the intersection of media art and critical theory. We foreground transdisciplinary and practice-based methodologies of artistic and activist-led research in media and technocultures with specific interests in material infrastructures, critical posthumanities, algorithmic visual cultures, feminist and decolonial technocultures, and media ecologies. 

CIIP is led by co-directors Dr Alexandra Anikina, Dr Stephen Cornford, Dr Kwame Phillips, and Dr Megen de Bruin-Molé and is based in the department of Art and Media Technology, Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton.
