CyPosium: An online symposium on cyberformance. (Reviewed)
By Rob Myers.
CyPosium was an online event in October 2012 dedicated to the history of
online performance. It recovered previously lost history, brought online
performers old and new into conversation, and assembled its audience
into an ad hoc community.
"We all perform on the Internet. The social media profiles that we are
contractually obliged to give our real names to are just as much
performances as our World Of Warcraft or Minecraft avatars. Yet these
impromptu performances of our socialised and fantasy selves lack the
literary quality of drama. Not drama in the sense of a Usenet or Tumblr
flamewar, but in the sense of theatre."
