I am interested in the new “happenings” of the networked performance, mobile media, and how locative and mobile activities / games are changing our perception of performance. I'm interested in the sense of play and collaboration that is instilled in both the performers and the users/audience, or even the users/audience as the performers, and the perceptual shift in the concept of “live”. These are live performance events that can be publicized through a website or cell phone, eliciting instant crowd response (Flash Mobs) or only involving the performer and the user. |
