CyPosium: An online symposium on cyberformance. (Reviewed)

By Rob Myers.

CyPosium was an online event in October 2012 dedicated to the history of 
online performance. It recovered previously lost history, brought online 
performers old and new into conversation, and assembled its audience 
into an ad hoc community.

"We all perform on the Internet. The social media profiles that we are 
contractually obliged to give our real names to are just as much 
performances as our World Of Warcraft or Minecraft avatars. Yet these 
impromptu performances of our socialised and fantasy selves lack the 
literary quality of drama. Not drama in the sense of a Usenet or Tumblr 
flamewar, but in the sense of theatre."
