Digital practices: aesthetic and neuroesthetic approaches to performance and technology

This book, now in paperback with a new preface, examines art and performance practices emerging from a more technological world. They are integral to alternative and mainstream performance culture and the author explores their aesthetic theorisation and analyses other approaches, including those offered by research into neuroesthetics.
