Re: [microsound] Laptop, etc as Performance device
i believe you have misunderestimated me.
i can't say that i know what the "intermediately of audio" is, nor if
it was used in a complete sentence.
i was referring to the "intermediality" of the 2 data types; audio and
video. many artists are creating works which do not recognize a
distinction between the types (or at least provide formal and
conceptual bridges between the 2), in order to comment on that
continuum, or simply to make new and interesting art.
the video is not used to "appease the few bored individuals". it is not
secondary to the audio. in fact in many ways, it IS the audio...
sometimes literally. the performance is about intermediality
(between-media).
eyes and ears and viscerality... all at once.

your direct assault is benign, this discussion is to characterize the
growing aspect of the limitations a laptop performer faces in front of
a crowd.
Should laptop be given a place in the field of performance art?, I
think so.
what difference are present between keyboard performers and laptop
performer. They both sit hidden behind a mechanical contraption, they
both manipulate
the sound they are developing, be it programmed or created. If you say
talent, you are much blinded by your own falsifications.
Laptop performance is boring, I've sat through the drowning's of beeps
and
buzzes, but the ingenuity and consumption of ability to manipulate
sound to
their own distinct art is the true performance. Artists with
performance to
their presentation hold a genre of their own. I could never place Emil
Beaulieau in the same category as a laptop artist. His performance
exhaust the
creativity of performance art, where laptop artist lack. rearing back
to the
question should laptop performers risk their art by creating a visual
performance to appease the few bored individuals? I don't think so.
