Alan,
?????sometime if you can figure out how to be bilocational, you
should put yourself in the audience to observe the effect of what you do.
I often am in the audience; even here I was next to the front row. I do
observe the effect; that's part of the work.
??????You are anything but in the background in my take... &
if an audience is reading along with the live performance, the text in
relation to the performed screen & the environment are quite a bit
different than reading the text much later.
Of course; it's not supposed to be a reconstruction but a residue.
??????There's nothing linear in the performance version, &
despite my best efforts I still usually read emails in a wholy linear
way.
Me too!

This is brilliant. I've always been intrigued by the relationship
between 'live' art or performance and performative text.
Unfortunately, I never found a decent way to tackle it. I remember
trying to introduce a conflict between performance documentation and
the live act itself, but both strata just kept pulling things apart.
Come to think of it, maybe I should have just accepted the 'pulling
apart' and tried to let it find its own way. OK, I'm just babbling.
Best,
Kamen
