The Loss of Distance: Real-Time Systems, Perception, and the Digital Present
Contemporary digital systems increasingly eliminate temporal, spatial, and cognitive distance.
Drawing on Paul Virilio and Vilém Flusser, this essay examines how real-time interfaces, AI, and platform logics transform perception into an operational process of immediacy, prediction, and behavioral stabilization.
In contrast to media artists of the 1960s and 70s who used technology to expose interruption, delay, and reflection, today’s systems aim for seamlessness and continuous availability, reshaping not only communication, but the conditions of perception itself.
