“In an age in which many of us have hundreds of online E-friends‚ we've never met, digital media has arguably transformed not just the method but also the meaning of human interaction. ”On the South Bank Centre, New York’s company - The Builders Association present their multi-media project Continuous City in london for the first time. The show tells the story of the network issue, using social networking technology to keep in touch with people. For all of us, the way of communication and human connection have changed a few years ago, since the high-tech exists. A generation who have grown up with the internet might find the following questions, are we having a real relationship through video chat, or losing real connection because of physically absent?
Back to the process of analysing my practical work, I am thinking about the issue that online social networking has become a really important way for people to maintain connections with both friends and families. It is clear that the Internet extends the possibilities for the intimacy of relationship. However, our embodied experience are increasingly disconnected from the convenience and immateriality of online communication. Turning this idea into theatrical performance, I will continue to examine the nonlinear relationship between physical place and virtual space. In other words online communications are whether building communities or fragmenting personal relationships.
"At first you feel you're in touch with someone you love, and then you feel almost deceived by the technology, because it can be a hollow feeling," says Sinclair, who's also a co-writer of the play. The situation like young people chat with strangers by using MSN or Skype, an intimacy grew up between the two may just take several hours. But the virtual reality may not equals reality. it hard to identify the relationship due to the crash and non-physical communication. People struggle with our real world personality and our online identity which is quite an interesting point of view.
The company make use of the technologies also raise a question about the technologies. That is also my interest with the idea of intimacy and distance. The intimacy promised by the technology impact which is fantastic but unstable. “I started thinking about how specific kinds of technology are being implemented and marketed to the developing world. I'm particularly fascinated by how social networking translates to other cultures.” the director Marianne Weems said in an interview. Both the Wooster Group and the Builders Association explored cultural symbols within their performance which insprit me a lot.
