Performing space

Abstract: This article discusses how the notion of performance provides impetus for the design of interactive digital environments. These environments can ultimately be regarded as userspaces; a condition which replaces the 'fixed' art-object with a configuration of interactions. Our understanding of space, as suggested by Lefevbre (2001), defines the 'inhabitant' as a full participant, a user, a performer of space. What is at play when the installation artist designs environments that invite performative exploration? T… Show more

It consists of an environment in which inhabitants perform a resonant space.…”
