ARTS WIRE WEB REPORTS

THE DIGITAL PERFORMANCE ARCHIVE

THE DIGITAL PERFORMANCE ARCHIVE (DPA) --
http://DPA.ntu.ac.uk/dpa_site/ -- is a research project
documenting developments in the creative use of computer
technologies in performance, from live theatre and dance
productions that incorporate digital media, to cyberspace
interactive dramas and webcasts. DPA also collates examples of the
use of computer technologies to document, discuss or analyze
performance, including specialist  websites and e-zines, to
academic CD-ROMS.

A joint project between the Digital Research Unit of the
Department of Visual and Performing Arts at The Nottingham Trent
University and the Media and Performance Research Unit, School of
Media, Music and Performance at the University of Salford, (both
in the UK) DPA is collating an extensive online searchable
database of virtual theatre performance and related events
1990-2000, including selected video documentation and statements
by creators.

Recent documentation includes:

The Anatomical Theatre
2081
"Under the direction of choreographer Robynne M. Gravenhorst, 2081
premiered at the Harold Washington Library Auditorium in 1998 and
was featured as Critic's Choice by the Chicago Reader. The piece
achieves its stylistic edge through the incorporation of original
music by composer Jason E. Geistweidt, visual design by sculptor
Matt Daly and digital video projection from both live-feed and
pre-recorded sources."

The Builders Association
JET LAG
"....a cross-media project developed collaboratively by The
Builders Association and Diller + Scofidio. Their shared interest
in combining the presence of live performers with the electronic
presence of new technologies prompted the two companies to begin
this project. Jet Lag is based on two actual personalities in
recent history, whose lives were enmeshed in complications of time
and space brought on by contemporary technologies."

Le Corps Indice
LE SANG DES RESEAUX
"....a distributed performance which tightly integrates video,
actual dance, electroacoustics, interactive systems and the
internet. The performance is a gestural exploration motivated by
three groups of performers in different spaces, linked by a flow
of control data generated by various sensors in each of the
spaces."

The DPA project aims to be of value to researchers across a wide
range of academic disciplines, from drama and performance to art
and design, from the social sciences to computer science and
cybernetics. They would like to make contact with interested
practitioners who would like to have their work included in the
archive.  For details, visit http://DPA.ntu.ac.uk/dpa_site/
