>> CFP: tdr: “(digital) performance” (2022)



Issue Editor: Laura Hyunjhee Kim

Co-Editors: Darija Medić, Kevin Sweet, Brad Gallagher



The journal the digital review invites submissions for an issue on
“(digital) performance.” We are interested in born-digital arts and writing
that forefront performance as the primary mode for research-creation,
presentation, and dissemination.



The experience of digital works start with the performance of turning on an
electronic device. Clicking on and off, scrolling up and down, zooming in
and out, viewers perform choreographed gestures and actions prescribed by
the work and its computational environment. The reading and writing of
digital projects are constituted through a myriad of intra-active
performances, birthing new forms of vernacular and language that are
articulated through its operational condition. By means of doing,
performance as a temporal lens and experimental framework can surface and
reveal the indeterminate conditions of the “born-digital” as a tangible and
sensorial site of study. From corporeal to virtual and simulated
embodiments (ie. aliases, avatars, personas, algorithmically generated
texts and images), artists and writers contextually shapeshift and morph
their identities to perform research, trouble genres, and deliver artifacts
that transgress beyond the edges of the digital facade and screen.



This issue of tdr will take a creative approach to performance as a point
of cross-disciplinary convergence, and may encompass the following:
original artworks/writing that forefront performance in the research
process; creative projects that perform narrative, speculative, and/or
political interventions, digital resistance and refusal;
artists/writers/scholars reimagining creative scholarship by means of
doing; critical engagement with one or more creative approaches to
performance.



>> These categories may include or incorporate any of the following forms:



- digital essayism (see tdr issue 00)

- digital performance

- e-literature

- computational writing

- other forms of “research-creation” or “practice-based research” (see tdr
issue: 01)



Collaborative submissions are welcome, including among scholars and
scholars, artists and artists, and scholars and artists. We encourage
