The only thing certain about culture is that it changes. Drawing inspiration from mathematical theories of topology, networks and complexity, the ATACD project will create a new way of looking at social change that emphasises links, driving forces and modes of change – common factors in all cultures – rather than cataloguing different types of culture, as previous work has tended to do. With participants ranging from physicists to artists, ATACD will explore not so much what a culture is as what it can become.
