Digital Practices: 


Aesthetic and Neuroesthetic Approaches to Performance and Technology 


Susan Broadhurst (Palgrave Macmillan)


 
'A groundbreaking and long-lasting resource for anyone interested in the uses 
and influences of contemporary technologies in performance practice and beyond. 
It will appeal to a range of readers, from undergraduate to postgraduate 
students studying performance, media and cultural studies, as well both theatre 
professionals and academics/scholars in these fields.' - Paul Woodward, 
Department of Drama, St Mary's University College, Twickenham, UK
 
Description
Digital Practices offers a description of a range of art and performance 
practices that have emerged within the context of a broad-based technological 
infiltration of all areas of human experience. They are integral to alternative 
and also to mainstream performance and culture, and demand perceptive 
strategies that can address the interface between the physical and the virtual. 
In this pioneering study, Susan Broadhurst explores the aesthetic theorisation 
of these practices and extends her analysis to include other approaches, 
including those offered by recent research into neuroesthetics.
