The technological explosion brought a “digital
performance” to life. This kind of performance
was born with the use of photography
as a massive means of communication
through mobile technology. It has imposed
itself in a daily routine that we maintain intimately
with our devices. Performance
ceased to be an act that contains a physically
related audience and documented the
action to show it afterwards. Today, it is an
instantaneous action with a high impact in
its digital dissemination. The redesign of the
digital performance proposal goes beyond
the artistic input; “we speak of performance
as an act that empowers a person in search
of liberation, interaction, and a growing audience”.
The dichotomy in which we currently
live involves how the human being handles
personal technology with the activities that
take place outside of it, and how the two
are fed in an attempt of mutual survival, in
which the winning force is who spends more
time behind or interacting with a screen. Technology has already won and “the digital
self” has born. The circulation of millions of
images in social media promotes the repetition
of actions coming from archetypes and
remakes the “15 minutes of fame” ambition.
This is possible thanks to a technological
mediator and Internet access
