Abstract

The Operature (2014), the first work of Anatomical Theatres of Mixed Reality (ATOM-r), is a live performance and augmented reality poem engaging themes of anatomical science and spectacle. The work's choreography and use of technology are influenced by research into a series of diverse anatomical histories including early-modern surgical theatres, Francis Glessner Lee's miniature crime-scene re-enactments, known as the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, and The Stud File, an autobiographical record of the sexual exploits of Samuel Steward, a twentieth-century tattoo artist, gay pornographer and friend of Gertrude Stein. This writing traces the development of the work and its attempt to create a fluid integration of live performance and computational systems.
