Symposium and Workshop Themes

Live actions and recorded events have multiple modalities in contemporary
performance and media arts practice; live in the sense of 'being there', as
an audience/performer in physical space*, *or,
a mediated understanding of an event and its remote unfolding. This
symposium profiles forays into the unstable binaries of proximity and
remoteness, liveness and delay, the spontaneous and the staged, bodies and
technologies, performance and reenactment, the 'delegated' performance and
'live' installation.

Convened by Greg Bennett, Chris Braddock and Janine Randerson in
conjunction with the Art & Performance Research Group and in association
with the Masters of Performance and Media Arts Degree, School of Art &
Design at AUT .
