Über dieses Buch

In this book, Jo Scott shares writing and documentation from her practice as research (PaR) project, which explored and analysed a mode of performance she developed, called live intermediality. The book offers a much-needed example of fully developed writing in relation to a practice as research (PaR) project. Weaving together theory, documentation and critical reflection, it offers fresh insights into both the process and presentation of PaR work, as well as theories around intermediality in performance, the role and actions of the live media performer and how live media events are created. It can be read alongside Robin Nelson’s 2013 text, Practice as Research in the Arts, as it demonstrates how Nelson’s model for PaR can be applied and developed. It also includes a set of online videos and commentaries, which complement and reflect on the writing in the core text.

Chapter 1. Live Intermedial Practice and Its Lineage

Abstract

This chapter outlines, describes and defines the practice of live intermediality. Initially, its core elements, processes and modes of event-making are laid out, with a focus on the consistent features of this particular live media practice. Following this, the practice is positioned within a lineage of similar practices and modes of performance. Through analysis of and comparison with the practices of live audio-visual performance, VJ-ing, live cinema, video art and live art, the distinctive features of live intermedial practice are drawn out. Such features are collated to form the conclusion of the chapter.

Chapter 2. Research Methodology and the Developing Praxis

Abstract

This chapter sets out the chronological progression of this research project, exploring and developing live intermedial praxis. Firstly, the methodological spurs to the inquiry are addressed, specifically the models of Practice as Research (PaR) that informed the research, including consideration of how elements such as documentation were employed in the project. The second section of the chapter charts the movements, shifts and challenges of the research project, along with the choices made as to the development of live intermedial practice, through an account of the main events created. In this section, reflections, documentation and responses to events are woven together to offer a multimodal view of the ways in which the research developed and why.

Chapter 3. Intermediality in Live Intermedial Practice: A Re-configuration

Abstract

This chapter addresses theories around intermediality in performance, placing such ideas and formulations directly in relation to live intermedial practice in order to understand how intermediality works in this particular practice. Firstly, definitions of intermediality in performance are discussed. Secondly, theories around the operation of intermediality—how it works—are addressed. Finally, what intermediality produces, specifically in terms of the nature of the experience generated, is considered. In each case, the theoretical frameworks are addressed through specific features and instances of live intermedial practice in order to reconfigure what intermediality in this practice is, does and produces.

Chapter 4. The Performer-Activator in Live Intermedial Practice

Abstract

Within this chapter, the role of performer-activator in live intermedial practice is explored and analysed. In the first section, theories dealing with the body and presence in performance are addressed, resulting in new language to describe the particular position and manifestation of the performer-activator. This is followed by analysis of the performer-activator’s role as both ‘precarious’ and ‘becoming’. Finally, specific and recurrent interactions in live intermedial events are used to analyse the role and actions of the performer-activator, resulting in a set of terms and distinctions to describe and define what this role is and how it works in practice.

Chapter 5. Event-Making in Live Intermedial Practice

Abstract

This final chapter seeks to sum up what a live intermedial event is, how it is made and what emerges from such events. The first section involves a consideration of ‘event’ as read through Derrida and Deleuze and a formulation of the particular elements that constitute a live intermedial event. This is followed by analysis of two of these key elements—intermedial improvisation and the autopoietic system that generates intermedial events. Finally, two contrasting events are considered, leading to a formulation of what emerges from live intermedial events in all their forms and a set of terms and distinctions that define live intermediality.
