In the last class, conversation changed before I could mention Stelarc’s mass-remote-controlled body performance pieces, most notably Split Body: Voltage In/Out but also Ping Body, of which a video can be found here. I also came across a history of performance art using electrically manipulated bodies in Leonardo. Of course, Jonathan and Blake’s idea didn’t involve direct control over a performer’s body, but the concept is related; it might be seen as the same but replacing the electrodes with a social contract and voting mechanism, a view on the piece which may be helpful in inspiring future decisions shaping the piece.
