Augmenting Expectation in Playful Arena Performances with Ubiquitous Intimate Technologies
The Performance Triad Model
"Use of modern technologies in performance is not new. Laurie Anderson (Anderson), Kraftwerk (Kraftwerk), and Stelarc (Stelarc) have all paved the way for recent innovations in the cross fertilisation between performance and technology including body-worn sensors, mobile and wearable computing, directional audio and interactive projections. These innovative technologies allow us to integrate the corporeality of live performance with both remote and mediated presences. As we become more familiar with these technologies, and as these technologies become both more affording and more affordable, their use is becoming more diverse and widespread. The growth in this field has gone hand in hand with the increasing number of performances that seek to investigate and redefine notions of performance and performativity as essential human activity that can occur beyond the tightly bound world of the theatre building."
