5.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating read on effects of convergence of technological mind and body,
By music fan (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Closer: Performance, Technologies, Phenomenology (Leonardo Book Series) (Hardcover)
There are many subtleties in this read that become evident through layers and layers of insights. I think this is a result of the author's deep understanding and lived experiences and reflections across many years thinking about the details presented in this work. The integration of technology with innovative live performance aesthetics increasingly are important in many mediums including concerts, digital entertainment, and interactive art.
Notice Bono's recent wearable laser jacket worn during Ultraviolet on the U2 360 concert tour. Gaming hardware manufacturers on the verge of removing the console barrier where human body gesture becomes one with an immersive gaming experiece. Indeed, even mobile phones are evolving into a pervasive medium for rich human expression and consumption of interactive media. This book is highly relevant, timely, and yet very forward looking on many fronts in areas where there is yet much to be explored and discovered with respect to the influence, impact, and integration of the human body and technologically-oriented culture and lifestyles. Highly recommended if you are interested in a formal framework for understanding many of today's social computing trends, live and digital entertainment productions, as well as gaming futures. |
