A digital art web installation as augmentation of a theatrical play

Abstract

This paper aim is to explore an online interactive multimedia installation that functions as a trans-medial extension of a play’s themes on human augmentation and post-humanism. Nowadays we often refer to body, life, nature and emotions through code, text or information. On the other side stereotypes of dichotomies such as body/mind, subject/object, man/machine are progressively dissolving. The aim of this installation is to spark discussion and raise public awareness of the issues involved in digital media use, particularly the ways people configure their sense of selves and in particular their social relations through using digital media
