We had a quick meeting with Andrew today to check-in on the progress of our project. The main item discussed was that of the performative aspect of our installation. For example, it is an open question as to whether audience interaction counts as a performative act. If we, for example, let the audience ‘choose their experience’ at the beginning of the corridor, are they then performing the installation? In my opinion, the audience would need to be aware of the decisions they are making in order for it to count as a performance. I believe that is one of the main criteria for performance: a decision is being made live that influences what is being seen and/or heard. To be discussed further….!
