- Abstract
The authors go on to identify four key dramatic frames for the exploration of digital arts cultures: the domains of creativity, playfulness, performance and intermediality. In order to heighten their examination and illustrate their argument further, the authors analyse digital liveness and procedural live performance through a number of carefully selected case studies across the following chapters. Chapters 4 and 5 carry out a critique of the non-human, particularly focusing on the creation of physical atmosphere (chapter 4) and the presence of robotic actors in performance (chapter 5). The authors identify three key themes of sound-based dramaturgy: amplification, immersion and embodied listening.
