Abstract

This essay discusses performer status in environments imbued with the artefacts underpinning millennial theatre history that today take on new forms as digital media invest live art. In keeping with a dichotomous conception of human beings as determined by or determinant of their surroundings, human-computer interaction raises questions of identity where individual perception-bound and shared experience is increasingly interwoven to form a new kind of sensorium. In conclusion, the author evokes challenges to notions of identifiable individuals posed by the ‘generic humans’ whose credence is steadily being reinforced by extraterrestrial activities.
