 Media & Performance: Along the Border - Johannes H. Birringer - Johns Hopkins University Press
Richly illustrated and composed, the book interweaves Birringer's recollections of his own work in the alternative culture with commentary, on contemporary artists, from Nam June Paik to Laurie Anderson and Madonna.
At a time when the new arts are being accepted and adopted by mainstream institutions, Birringer reclaims performance as process and movement, as political commitment to social activism and community, as aesthetic intervention into technological and economic structures of domination, and as anarchist disturbance of aesthetic pretensions.
The author discusses the performance aspects of such political eventsas the breaching of the Berlin wall and the destruction of Sarajevo, and examines the use of video and agit-prop performance in political activity, including protests by the gay activist group ACT UP.

Digital Cultures Lab in Dance-Technologies - organised by Johannes Birringer
Digital technologies challenge our techniques of performance, customary perceptions of culturally embodied knowledge and sensory processing, and assumptions about choreography, composition, and the relations between maker, performer, and audience.
We shall ask: whether interactive performance and other systems of technology-based creativity have become an instance of collaborative culture, beyond aesthetic conventions of concert dance, and how interactive media blur distinctions between performer and audience/user, between performance, play, ritual, game and utility.
