Enfatizando o processo

documentação e presença na performance audiovisual

Abstract

In response to the concept of an artistic project, technology has a double role: it hides the performer behind the computer and extends the possibilities by representing him/her. This article analyzes the presence and process in live audiovisual performances, from the perspective of an artistresearcher. Based on my experience, I play with possibilities related to presence, process and documentation. The understanding of audiovisual performance as a processual practice expands documentation beyond the promotional videos and their dissemination via social networks to comprehend other documents, other forms of reaching interested audiences. Different forms of experiencing a performance coexist: the fruition of an event or document includes the study of a performance focused on how it is created and how it is presented. Furthermore, digital platforms play an important role on these practices, gathering and archiving documents related to performing-artists, making them accessible to a multitude of points of view.
