Now in paperback and with a new Preface, this collection of
writings from international contributors who specialize in a
diverse range of digital art and performance practices, surveys
various aspects of performance and technology. The discussions
interrogate the interaction between new technologies and
performance practice. Furthermore, in an innovative way they link
the sensuous contact that must exist between the physical and
virtual, together with the resultant corporeal transformation. Not
only do bodies morph and (de)morph but their identities
consequently become destabilized. In certain technological
practices, physicality is both transcended and ludically inscribed
- the play (jouer) being all. Consequently, digital practices
potentiate creative and aesthetic possibilities and demand new
perceptive strategies that not only affirm sensate presence but
also 'deceive'. The work identifies a new performance practice at
the cutting edge of experimentation, and at the same time explores
the evolution of new art practices. Especially, practices that are
pivotal in alternative and also mainstream performance and popular
culture.
