This original and timely collection features writings from international contributors who specialize in digital art and performance practices (including Johannes Birringer, Robert Weschler and Philip Auslander). There are few writings per se that attempt to interrogate the interaction between new technologies and performance practice. Furthermore, none have so far linked the sensuous contact that must exist between the physical and virtual, together with the resultant corporeal transformation. 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.

Industry Reviews

'...a timely and informative survey of digital performance practices.' - Tracey Warr, editor of The Artist's Body

'...an enjoyable, well-researched, inspiring book that everybody with a keen interest in performance and technology should consider reading.' - Iryna Kuksa, New Theatre Quarterly

'Broadhurst and Machon's volume provides a snapshot of a relatively nascent scene, and an opportunity to survey both its strengths and weaknesses...' - Paul Rae, Contemporary Theatre Review
