Sheri Wills replied to Sheri Wills's discussion Could someone else perform your live digital media piece? in the group Digital Media and Performance"I think you're right about working with someone who has a sympathetic aesthetic - that seems key.
I also like what you say: "Going back and forward as a performer in the piece and technologist of the piece offers a unique…"
Whitney V. Hunter replied to Sheri Wills's discussion Could someone else perform your live digital media piece? in the group Digital Media and Performance"I might think of this in terms of passing down one's knowledge. If you are interested in someone else performing your work, that performer might be with you during the making of the work, see archival footage of your performing the work,…"

Could someone else perform your live digital media piece?
If you work with live media - is your own performance of the piece an important component in the work?
