ZeroSpace is an ongoing project whose events explore the theme of distance and interaction, examining how humans interact with one another and with our environment through new technologies. Through partnerships with cultural and education institutions around the world, ZeroSpace envisions a collaborative global network of artists, scholars and technologists.

The interdisciplinary ZeroSpace Conference on Distance and Interaction takes place on February 18-19 2013 at the University of Virginia. It brings together scholars and artists who examine aesthetic, cultural, technological and environmental issues of distance and interaction. Performances will feature works employing telematic and network technology.

Anderson (Professor of Nursing, UVA); Ted Coffey (Professor of Music, UVA); Matthew Burtner and David Topper (Interactive Media Research Group, UVA); Roger Mills (PhD Candidate and Lecturer, University of Technology, Sydney); Sarah Weaver (PhD Student, SUNY Stony Brook); and Mark Dresser (Professor of Music, University of California San Diego).
