How technologies, from the mechanical to the computational, have
transformed artistic performance practices. This ambitious and
comprehensive book explores technology's influence on artistic
performance practices in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
In Entangled, Chris Salter shows that technologies, from the
mechanical to the computational-from a "ballet of objects and
lights" staged by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1917 to
contemporary technologically-enabled "responsive environments"-have
been entangled with performance across a wide range of disciplines.
Salter examines the rich and extensive history of performance
experimentation in theater, music, dance, the visual and media
arts, architecture, and other fields; explores the political,
social, and economic context for the adoption of technological
practices in art; and shows that these practices have a set of
common histories despite their disciplinary borders. Each chapter
in Entangled focuses on a different form: theater scenography,
architecture, video and image making, music and sound composition,
body-based arts, mechanical and robotic art, and interactive
environments constructed for research, festivals, and participatory
urban spaces. Salter's exhaustive survey and analysis shows that
performance traditions have much to teach other emerging
practices-in particular in the burgeoning fields of new media.
Students of digital art need to master not only electronics and
code but also dramaturgy, lighting, sound, and scenography.
Entangled will serve as an invaluable reference for students,
researchers, and artists as well as a handbook for future praxis.
