ABSTRACT
Other than notions of the body, perhaps no other elements receive as much scrutiny from collisions among theatre, performance, and digital culture as the resulting transformations of time and space. One of the most salient of these transformations has been the ability to access information outside progressive linear time and defined material spaces. Although refusals to conform to these dimensions date to the early twentieth century, the technological developments of the last 50 years have animated these concepts in startling new ways. If the metaphors of mapping and networking, frequently deployed throughout this book, have any effect at all, it is that they demonstrate the need for new relations among previously fixed dimensions.
