English language. doi: 10.1386/padm.8.1.109_1 PETER A. TORPEY MIT Media Lab Digital systems for live multimodal performance in Death and the Powers ABSTRACT KEYWORDS The opera Death and the Powers by Tod Machover tells the story of a man, Simon opera Powers, who evades death by transferring his essence into his environment as his Disembodied Perfor- corporeal body dies. To realize the effect of the theatrical environment coming alive mance as the main character, the Opera of the Future research group at the MIT Media Lab robots developed new technologies and control systems for interactive robotics, sound and show control systems visuals in live theatre. A core component of this work is the technique of Disembod- multimedia score ied Performance, a method and associated technological infrastructure that trans- abstract representation lates the live performance of the offstage opera singer into multimodal representa- tions onstage. The author was principally responsible for the control architecture and Disembodied Performance software implementation, as well as the design of the visual language used to represent Simon Powers. These digitally enabled elements were created in order to support the story of the opera and facilitate the process of crafting and rehearsing the staged experience. This article reflects on the dialogue between the design of the technological systems in conjunction with the development of the story and scenography of the opera. Several design principles are presented for the role of new technologies in digital opera and music-driven performance contexts that arose during the course of this work.

Copyright: Hannah Williams Walton 2011 Photo from the Blast Theory website: http://www.blasttheory.co.uk/bt/index.php Abstract Technology is now an integral part of modern society from the internet; to computers, mobile phones and gaming. It is clear that technology has made massive advances to society in terms of connecting the world however we must also examine the disciplines which may be struggling to adapt. The world of arts and theatre is a form that is routed in tradition which brings limitations in how far people are willing to push against normal conventions. This dissertation explores three sections of technology within theatre. „Digital Technology and Theatres‟ which explores the impact that the internet has had on the theatre in terms of marketing; and participation in the arts; looking at specific theatre websites, and the services Digital Theatre and National Theatre Live. „Technology and the internet in contemporary plays‟ looks at Tim Fountain‟s play Sex Addicts that uses the internet live during performance, and the work that contemporary playwrights have developed to stage modern technology within their work. From Patrick Marber‟s chatroom scene in Closer, to Chatroom by Enid Walsh that is set almost entirely in a virtual world. „Digital Performance‟ explores theatre companies and practitioners that are pushing the boundaries between performance and technology, to create contemporary pieces of theatre. The research identified Connected an organisation dedicated to working with artists who use live and interactive media; this included Duncan Speakmen, Hide and Seek and Blast Theory.

We review the origins of system model languages, machine performance spaces, reconfigurable performance spaces, and human-computer interfaces for performance. We discuss a number of novel systems for digital performance created by the author. We then introduce the new, symbolic digital performance language in the form of a living diagram- matic environment called Modulator. Finally, we use the Modulator system to categorize digital performance spaces,

  • Digital Parts / Modular Doubles: Fragmenting the ‘Digital Double’
    Digital Parts / Modular Doubles: fragmenting the ‘digital double’ Daniël Ploeger In digital performance, video and sound technologies are frequently used to establish simultaneous presences of performers and their non-material counterparts. From the early explorations of closed circuit television by artists such as Dan Graham and Bruce Nauman to the advanced digital sound and video synthesis by contemporary groups like Blast Theory and the Chameleons Group, the use of technological means to multiply performers’ presence has been an important strategy to thematize issues of the subject’s embodiment and consciousness. The combination of ‘live’ and ‘mediated’ presence in performance has been discussed by theorists such as Philip Auslander and Steve Dixon. Whilst Auslander discusses the tension between the ‘live’ and the ‘mediated’ presence of performers, and argues how this opposition tends to contract in people’s perception in present day’s mediatized culture, Dixon suggests that, in digital performance, a simultaneously present ‘mediated’ performer may be considered as a ‘digital double’. Dixon identifies Artaud’s The Theatre and its Double as the primary cue for his concept of the digital double and describes Artaud’s notion of the double as ‘theatre’s true and magical self’ (2007: 241). In a letter to his publisher, Artaud concisely, and in an equally mysterious manner, described the theatre’s double as ‘reality untouched by the men of today’ (1989: 87-8). Possibly giving somewhat more insight into his understanding of the concept, Artaud’s call for a ‘Theatre of Cruelty’ proposes a cruel, violent attitude to performance. Not in a literal, physical sense, but in an endeavour to confront audiences with uncomfortable realities of life (theatre’s double) and remind them of the fact that ‘[w]e are not free.
