New Realities: Media performance and VR
 |
| De Quincey Co: Para Parra 2020 |
Though it seems like hardly any live performance has been made in 2020, it has been one of the busiest in contingency planning and re-modelling. Strategising new funding platforms for live events, engaging with ways live acts are digitally perceived - rethinking virtual presences and how they can be equivalent to live energy, how they can become pushed out of necessity into online art platforms. Digital art space has jumped from conceptual practice to something necessary. The attention span is shorter, the spectacle expectation is higher, and the fluency of virtual, video/audiographic space has instantly become the norm. Though the sense is people are longing to go back to visceral experiences.
