Synopsis:

Australian artist Jill Scott uses the mediums of performance, video art, computer art and interactive cinema in her work. "Coded Characters" covers 28 years of her art. Scott questions the mediation and role of the audience, as well as the mythical representation of the human body on both stage and screen. Her work has led to a new, much broader concept of the human body, regarding it as both an interface and a player in the evolving zones of tech-space as well as physical reality. The book covers work produced during her residencies in three continents. Reflective essays and interviews by leading theorists form these countries, as well as Scott's original notes about the works and their related technologies, it carries the reader through a progression of body related issues such as science, idealism, media mythology, behaviour, memory, feminism and space.
