Between smart technologies and Soviet guns
In March 2017, I travelled to the frontline between the Ukrainian army and Pro-Russian separatist forces in the Donbass region, East Ukraine, as part of a research project into the return of twentieth century weapons in digital culture across Europe. While embedded in a patrol with soldiers of the Ukraine Volunteer Corps, an organization affiliated with the nationalist Right Sector movement, I ended up in a firefight on the edge of the no man’s l…
Abject Digital Performance
Building on anthropologist Mary Douglas’s writing on the ritual function of dirt, this article presents a strategy in digital performance art that engages with electronic waste (e-waste). It is suggested that planned obsolescence in electronics is of a particular nature that facilitates the representation of consumer technologies within the logic of a “symbolic order of technological progress,” where digital devices act as mere signifiers for abs…
Drama and Performance Studies
This chapter reflects on work in Drama and Performance Studies published in 2013 and 2014 and is divided into two sections: 1. Performing Anthropology; 2. Performance and Capitalism. Section 1 is by Daniël Ploeger and examines publications that consider performance in anthropology, archaeology and game studies through both theoretical analysis and practice-based enquiry. Section 2 is by Pieter Verstraete and focuses on developments in theatre and…

Drama and Performance Studies
The omnipresence of digital technologies and social media has affected the recording and dissemination of histories—both personal and institutional—in ways that render the distinctions blurry between what is real, edited, or simulated. In recent years, Drama and Performance Studies have responded to this context by becoming increasingly interested in the challenges faced by, and the forms and possibilities of, dramatizing, performing and document…
Eerie Prostheses and Kinky Strap-Ons
In his paper ‘The Uncanny Valley’ (1970), Masahiro Mori advises designers to avoid high degrees of human likeness in prosthetic body parts in order not to evoke uncanniness. Building on a discussion of the difference in the commonly experienced uncanniness of ‘realistic’ looking prosthetic hands and strap-on dildos, this paper argues that Mori’s hypothesis and his approach to design are based on an essentialist concept of the human body, which is…
Drama and Performance Studies
This chapter focusses on work in Drama and Performance Studies published between late 2010 and early 2012 and is divided into two sections: 1. Technology, Culture and Species by Daniël Ploeger looks at performance practices that move along and across the boundaries between humanness, technology and animality; 2. Sensoriality, Politics and Praxis by Alissa Clarke reviews texts that pursue social change, ethical, reflexive behaviour and the unified…
Drama and Performance Studies
This chapter focuses on work in Drama and Performance Studies published in 2010 and is divided into two sections (with some thematic crossover between them): 1. Bodies, Spaces and Objectives (by David Tucker); 2. Technology, Media and Boundaries (by Daniël Ploeger). Common themes across the sections and among the books reviewed within each of these include the possibilities of success and failure, where both are reconceptualized according to poli…

Sonic prosthetics
This article focuses on the use of biosignal sensors and sound in digital performance. It gives an account of theoretical and practical aspects of my performance project SUIT, which encompasses a series of performances with a PVC performance overall equipped with humidity and Doppler heart sensors and a loudspeaker. Building on theories in posthumanism and proxemics, I propose a new approach to the spatial distribution of sound that is generated …
