Examines the place of technology in contemporary performance culture from MTV to performance art. Considers the rise of video literacy and the expanding field of digital culture in terms of the ways in which such technologies have shifted the parameters of performance and representation. Looks at questions such as the convergence of performance genres and the remediation of art works and theoretical concepts such as posthumanism and cybernetics. Critiques the notion that live performance forms are discrete and unmediated and therefore cut off from contemporary cultural change.
