<x-charset ISO-8859-1> Dans un courrier datÈ du 13/03/01 14:32:55, john.mitchell@asu.edu a Ècrit : <<So in the football analogy, we are told that the game is live but how do we know that it is not time-delayed?(even if we watch it on TV.) Or even staged for that matter. Basically we believe that it is live.>> In the early days of satelite transmission the US government and Hughes Aircraft had a disagreement about what a "live broadcast" was. The official US view was that "live" meant within 24-hours. <<This brings us into the discussion of the importance of knowing, whether it is in regards to the mapping of an interactive piece or whether a distance performance is live or memorex. Does it matter if we know or not? Is it enough to think we know (i.e.to have faith)? If it is important, then why? Does the suspension of belief talked about in the theatre extend into this territory?>> This is part of the subject of my work "French Pieces", but also much earlier the work of Pirandello - what is predetermined, what is interactive?
