Critical Spatial Practice entails the claiming of social responsibility at the intersections of art, geography, architecture, and activism. How might critical approaches to space and place empower creativity, enhance artistic activism, and encourage artistic practice and collaboration? The alignment of criticality with cyber configurations of space permits especially creative skins of networks, resources, and discussions whose resulting configurations range from texts and performances to buildings and installations. ==============================================================
