View Product Details
Performing arts are at the forefront of technological experimentation. The contributors to this volume explore stage creations with robotic and artificial agents and their evolving collaborations. Featuring renowned international scholars and artists, they invite readers to engage with the technological imaginary, speculating on how artistic practices can both respond to and anticipate technological change. Rather than asking whether machines will surpass us, this volume explores how they might reshape artistic expression and challenge human-centered perspectives on creativity and agency. It is destinated to practitioners and academics from the fields of performing arts, engineering, cultural studies, as well as curious spectators.
