Summary
"Performance has been an integral part of the mission of ASPECT since its inception. This issue focuses on the broad spectrum of performance art--from traditional interpretations of performance to those integrating advanced technologies, inanimate objects, passersby, and site. While some performances are designed not be recorded or replayed, whereby anyone not present is rendered reliant on second hand accounts and imagination to understand the work, the videos included here are works intended to be seen repeatedly and broadly."--Publisher's web site.
