FOCUS
Over the past decades, the performing arts have been moving away from the interpretation of fixed notations and repetitive, rehearsed performances. This shift has been intensified by increasingly reactive stage and music technologies.
Elaborate and complex rule systems in the form of computer software have become part of our everyday world, techniques of knowledge accumulation have moved beyond the dipole of embodied or studied knowledge into contingent, situative knowledge - knowing when and how to apply which kind of knowledge has become more important than learning and using a repertoire of acquired wisdom.
This cultural shift has found its expression in new forms of art called interactive, based on extensive computer systems. Has it also influenced non-technology dependent practices to performing arts ?
How can we understand this shift, what are its technological foundations, how do artistic rule systems influence technology and vice versa? Has this shift towards technology also influenced audience perceptions of the relative value of composed vs. improvised performance?
