Description
New Directions in Mobile Media and Performance explores the latest developments in mobile media performance, focusing on new concepts and forms of expression that have emerged with the advent of smartphones. This book delves into the intimate and phenomenological mobile aesthetic that has been unfolding in networked performance and media art projects over the past decade and a half. The book examines the impact of mobile technology on performance, including the rise of wearable devices and the 'quantified-self movement'. It also discusses how artists have repurposed mobile devices to become a new collaborative medium, transforming them from mere communication tools into a visual, synaesthetic, interactive, and performative tool for deeper expression and social change. Through its exploration of seminal works and the evolution of mobile media performance, this book provides insight into the creative process and artistic expression in intermedial digital art and performance practices.
