Edward Kienholz’s Friendly Grey Computer (1965)
Browsing about Edward Kienholz’s “Friendly Grey Computer” (1965) I came across Light Industry’s Theatre of Code.
Theater of Code will present three performance/interventions that explore how computer code, scripting language, and software applications relate to the movement of bodies and the staging and choreography of our lives.
The one that intrigues me the most is Website Impersonations: The Ten Most Visited, where a performer embodies a web site, translating the HTML code on the fly. For example, here is www.yahoo.com being performed in 2008. Here is a documentary that explains the www.facebook.com performance.
