Abstract
In Scenario,(2011) a new media installation by Dennis del Favero and iCinema, spectators enter a gigantic 3-D screen space and are engaged by the humanoid inhabitants of the world they find there. These humanoids engage the spectators as witnesses and participants in an uncertain scenario. What is it? It looks like the aftermath of some horrific act, not an inadvertent or random act of nature but a deliberate tearing in the social fabric. Some kind of fairy tale gone wrong? The scenario occurs in a variety of interactive spaces and environments, in underground bunkers, empty buildings and on a frozen lake. This essay uses Scenario as a case study to explore the notion of the posthuman in performance and explores the ethical questions it raises.
