Publisher's Synopsis
In October 2012, a one-day online symposium created a platform for discussing the practice of cyberformance - live performance that uses internet technologies to connect remote participants. The 12-hour event featured 10 presentations and attracted an audience of over 100 from around the world who engaged in a lively, vibrant conversation. This book presents a selection of artefacts from the CyPosium - presentation texts, chat log excerpts, discussion transcripts, edited email conversations, creative chat excerpt essays and illustrations - along with invited articles that respond to the event.
