Maaike Bleeker & Norah Zuniga Shaw Performance + Technology:An Interactive Conversation, Book Launch
Advertisement
Wexner Center for the Arts, Performance Space
This mini festival features a keynote conversation with the book’s editors, creative offerings by contributing artists and scholars, and an opportunity to experience the groundbreaking exhibition sweat variant (Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born): where you go full, volume 5 together in the Wexner Center galleries. The program ends with a reception with light refreshments.
The evening invites audiences to think, sense, and experiment alongside contributing artists and scholars as we consider not only what technology does in performance but what performance can teach us about living well in a technoscientific world. Special guest speakers include Thomas DeFrantz, Jessica Rajko, Shannon Cuykendall, Kate Ladenheim, Bhumi Patel, Marcela Fuentes, and Harmony Bench.
Coedited by Ohio State’s Norah Zuniga Shaw and the University of Utrecht’s Maaike Bleeker, The Routledge Companion to Performance and Technology begins from the premise that technologies and bodies are co-constitutive and that performance offers vital methods for sensing, understanding, and reshaping those relationships. For this special event international contributors and guests will take up pressing questions from the perspective of performance and embodied experience: What does it mean to be human in the age of AI? What becomes visible as technology is approached through practices of performance with attention to bodies, movement, liveness, presence, relationality, and shared world-making? And where might artists be leading conversations about technology that other fields, institutions, and policymakers have yet to imagine?
