See moreIt has become routine to characterise digital art as indicative of an assumed universal shift from ‘traditional’ practic-es towards novel forms of cultural pro-duction, interaction and consumption. Frequently, running parallel to this is the assertion that space, time and distance have been compressed, subsumed, aug-mented, eliminated or are unable to resist being replaced by relations, experiences or symbolic values. This collective paper is based on a panel presentation at ISEA 2013. It discussed five different research approaches that address theoretical, practical, philosophical and artistic possibili-ties of engaging with the realities of distance, remoteness or ‘exquisite apartness’ as locii of resistance.
