Man Hangs Dead From the Ceiling, Yet Remains Online
A play about a man who hangs dead from the ceiling of his apartment while his computer program maintains the façade that he is still alive was among the top entries in a new competition for plays about science and technology.More here.
That play, titled "On-line" and submitted by Minneapolis playwright Mark Steven Jensen, earned finalist status in the first Scientists, Technologists, and Artists Generating Exploration (STAGE) competition. The contest, which featured a $10,000 first prize, was organized by the Professional Artists Lab and California NanoSystems Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Another network-oriented play earning special recognition was called "Bot," and is the story of a teenage computer genius obsessed with how technology can blur the line between humans and machines. It was written by C. Michele Kaplan.
