What is NETWORKED PERFORMANCE ?
locative media, augmented reality, distributed performance, environmental theatre, pervasive play, immersive gaming, telepresence?...???

Recent technological and telecommunication developments--the internet's two-way communication model, relatively inexpensive access to computers and networks--have given rise to a powerful and diverse range of creative production, particularly among those not self-defined as artists, resulting in a bleedover between and across disciplines as people explore unconventional uses of tools and technologies. Current activity indicates that trends emergent from computer network based practice are changing the nature of performance.
