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.
