More About the Author
Product Description
- Charlie Gere, The Art Book, February 2008
"...Digital Performance: A History of New Media in Theater, Dance, Performance Art, and Installation by Steve Dixon... offers an extremely comprehensive overview of its subject and surveys a remarkable amount of material...Digital Performance is not a book that is intended to be read from cover to cover or, for example, in the bath or on the bus. Rather it is an absolutely invaluable resource, which should be on the shelf of anybody interested in any aspect of this area, and is unlikely to be surpassed or even challenged in this regard any time in the near future.
Review
"A lively and contentious introduction to the history, theory, and practice of digital media in performance. Dixon's book provides the solid grounding this ongoing discussion so urgently needs."--Philip Auslander, School of Literature, Communication, and Culture, Georgia Institute of Technology "Like the performance art of which it represents such a brilliant history, Digital Performance is itself literally that -- not only a superb history of new media but a field-defining performance of the trace of the digital in theater, dance, and installation. To read this book is to enter deeply into the creative artistic imagination which codes so much of contemporary digital experience." Arthur Kroker , Canada Research Chair in Theory, Technology, and Culture, University of Victoria, Canada "There is a fine irony in the very 'bookness' of this vast and startling work. As book, what Steve Dixon has set out to produce here is stunning, monstrous in its dimensions -- virtually impossible. If you have any interest at all in recent histories of performance, this is precisely why you need to get hold of it." Susan Melrose , Professor in Performance Arts, Middlesex University, UK "Like the performance art of which it represents such a brilliant history, *Digital Performance* is itself literally that -- not only a superb history of new media but a field-defining performance of the trace of the digital in theater, dance, and installation. To read this book is to enter deeply into the creative artistic imagination which codes so much of contemporary digital experience."--Arthur Kroker, Canada Research Chair in Theory, Technology, and Culture, University of Victoria, Canada "There is a fine irony in the very 'bookness' of this vast and startling work. As *book*, what Steve Dixon has set out to produce here is stunning, monstrous in its dimensions -- virtually impossible.

Good research tool
17 Aug 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This detailed book goes through the history of digital performance until about the 1990's. It has been very useful for my thesis research which focused in dance and digital media. Sometimes I found the organization a bit difficult for my area of focus, but I liked the way the chapters were grouped regardless. The tissue-thin pages were filled with well-documented and organized data. A good book to have in your library if you research this particular field. Not for light reading (unless you are Hermione Granger).
