digital performance art

Digital performance art is intentional creative work conducted through online platforms and livestreams, where chaos, narrative instability, and audience interaction become part of the aesthetic itself. It blurs boundaries between documentation, entertainment, spectacle, and social commentary.

In the Psycheverse

Psyche uses his show as both a medium for analyzing digital performance art and a performance art event itself. He examines real internet incidents—like the Ziti Oil Party's collapse of truth and Emma Leviathan's demonic persona—as case studies in how meaning fractures across digital spaces, while simultaneously crafting his own show's surreal intros, layered audio-visual sequences, and unstructured panel dynamics as deliberate performance. The show treats the line between archive, chaos, and art as intentionally permeable.
