e-performance

attended a day of the e-performance conference at UNSW (http://media.arts.unsw.edu.au/eperformance/program.html)

Norie Neumark and Maria Miranda's presentation on their e.motion project was fantastic and hilarious all at once. Sarah Rubidge's interactive space raises all the questions - the role of an individual, proximity to others and meaningful interaction with a constructed space - that we are all grappling with in developing these interactive environments.

there are still questions lingering in my mind:

  • do immersive spaces really create more immersive art experiences?

  • do users/audiences actually gain from these types of experiences?

  • do experiences that intend to frustrate the user actually make them contemplate the issue/concept being addressed?
