And, With & Through; The technologies of performance
Working with digital technology in the context of performance has now diversified significantly to allow us to develop taxonomies about application and production. This presentation looks at categories of emerging practice in the performing arts and seeks to suggest some ways of distinguishing different levels and types of engagement with the digital processing power. Assessing the relative impact of technology on the practices that encounter it is an important way of understanding what we think technology can do for performing practices. This will be augmented by some practical demonstrations from the Visualisation Research Unit from UCE Birmingham presented via AccessGrid.
