New technologies frequently challenge our notions of distance by shifting
perceptions of time and space which, in both subtle and radical ways, alter
our relationships to our physical environments and social networks. This
symposium focuses on recent advances in mobile technologies and new media
and the ways that they are complicating, expanding, and disrupting our
understanding of temporal, physical, and social distance. Papers presented
will explore this topic through a variety of technologies that will help
illuminate the changes, challenges, opportunities, and disorientations we
face and their implications for the future.
