On performance once more, on writing-as-trace,
or voice(/body)-as-effect Fiona Templeton's Saturday
matinee reminder (8/2) that the author-recipient relation
is neither fixedly 'dyadic' nor just passive v. active
has its cajoling implications, without altering the value
I'd find in Rheingold's suggestion that a (many-to-)many-to-
many(-to-many) pattern mostly characterises what loosely
passes for interaction in cyberised hyperspace.
Running up and down the aisles, perhaps, as food for thought,
rather than seated and glued to the stage.
I'm more concerned though about what the online environment
brings to the 'inner space' of reading or attending (/as well as
writing?), which, though an introspectively animated
process busy with conjecture, can give every appearance of
unreciprocal silence to the 'performer' actively engaged.
And, referring to a previous message, there is another
statement on that, which I make a point of mentioning.
