Three international net, performance and media artists present their work and give insight into exciting net performance practices. They are mentors of our newly launched #BeyondDigital Mentoring Program and set the mood for a three-month exchange phase with performing artists. They discuss the role of the audience on the net with us, show what has happened so far and spin fantastic future scenarios for the performing arts on the internet. There will be time for questions and sharing afterwards.
The presentations will be in English and will also be accessible online via Zoom.
Please also join the #BeyondDigital Kick-Off at 5pm with presentations of the four-day workshop Going Beyond – theatre in digital realities

Since the early noughties Jeremy Bailey (CA) has ploughed a compelling, and often hilarious, road through the various developments of digital communications technologies. Ostensibly a satire on, and parody of, the practices and language of “new media,” the jocose surface of Bailey’s work hides an incisive exploration of the critical intersection between video, computing, performance, and the body.” (Morgan Quaintance, Rhizome) Recent projects include performances for Rhizome’s Seven on Seven in New York, The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and Tate Liverpool.
His work has been shown widely including recent solo shows at Transmediale in Berlin, and group shows Mediamatic in Amsterdam, Museums Quartier in Vienna and Balice Hertling in Paris. Recent commissions include projects for the Southbank Centre in London, FACT in Liverpool, Turner Contemporary in Margate UK, and The New Museum in New York. Bailey is represented by Pari Nadimi Gallery in Toronto.
