초록
In this paper, I will examine three performances in which the issue of technology manifests itself in various forms. In Dumb Type’s pH (1990-3), technology is represented in close affinity with the humanist tradition, where technology is pitted against humans. In Hirata Oriza’s robot theatre (2010), the “real” robots are used as characters of the play. The effect is interesting, though we cannot but feel Hirata’s strong sense of anxiety. The last case is by Ikegami Takashi, a leading AI scientist. It is a provocative experiment with dancers, exploring the possibility of renewing the sense of technology in performance.
