Critical Art Ensemble, Tactical Media, and the Audience Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
Resisting the Body Invasion: Critical Art Ensemble, Tactical Media, and the Audience Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Shelby Elizabeth Brewster, B.F.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2015 Thesis Committee: Jennifer Schlueter, Advisor. Shilarna Stokes Copyright by Shelby Elizabeth Brewster 2015 Abstract “BioCom: building a better organic platform;” “BioCom: growing to meet your needs;” “BioCom: creating superior labor one worker at a time.”1 Though these catchy advertising slogans seem genuine, the company they advertise does not exist. BioCom is a fictional construct created by Critical Art Ensemble (CAE) as a part of their performance Flesh Machine (1998). CAE, a semi-anonymous group of five tactical media practitioners, have focused on the exploration of the intersections between art, critical theory, technology, and political activism since the collective’s creation in 1986. In response to the increasing impact of the biotechnology industry, from 1998 to 2004 CAE created seven projects focusing on issues ranging from reproductive technologies to genetically modified organisms. Through audience participation, the disruption of the traditional relationship between audience and performer, the use of actual scientific knowledge and processes, and digital performance techniques, CAE strove to create a space for critical dialogue surrounding these issues. Drawing on CAE’s own published material and scholarly analysis of their work, this thesis explores the specific performance strategies employed by CAE, places CAE’s work in the theatrical legacy of the avant-garde, and contextualizes it in its own historical moment, marked by debate surrounding the possibilities of biotechnologies.
