About
Veronika Pauser is a scholar at the intersection of media art, performance studies, and digital culture. Her research focuses on audience involvement in interactive performances, exploring how participatory digital practices—such as co-creation and social networking—reshape the traditional stage. Her most-cited work, “The (St)Age of Participation: audience involvement in interactive performances” (2013, 17 citations), offers a critical reflection on the implications of today’s participatory culture for contemporary and future media art. In this paper, Pauser examines why and how audiences transition from passive spectators to active co-creators, interrogating the evolving dynamics of liveness, agency, and authorship in performance contexts. Though her citation count is modest, her contribution is notable for bridging performance theory with digital media studies at a time when interactive technologies were rapidly transforming artistic practice. Pauser’s work provides a foundational framework for understanding how the “age of participation” challenges conventional notions of the stage, making her a thoughtful voice in debates on audience engagement and the future of live art in a networked world.
