| description | In digital age there is a “reciprocity of images and bodies during regular, multiple and multisited encounters.” (Harbison 16). Westerman asserts performance as ‘inframedium’, that is ontologically situated between life and image (Westerman n.p.). As such it is well placed to critically address the production of normative subjectivities, in the context of a radically accelerated, embodied relationship to the image through digital media. This paper will explore the work of two contemporary Irish queer/genderqueer artists, Francis Fay and Day Magee, examining their work across live and digital practice. Foregrounding my own acts of reading (after Jones), I seek to mobilise the operation of taken for granted digital/social media formats in the production of meaning. I will examine how these artists utilise the ontology of performance practice in a digital age, to posit queer futurities that conjure alternative social relations, and resist and challenge normative subjectivity as fixed through heterosexual logics. |
