From 'Digital Practices. Aesthetic and Neuroesthetic Approaches to Performance and Technology'

'Significant questions relate to the use of sophisticated technologies within contemporary art and performance practices. Since, as i have argued elsewhere, language without the body does not 'mean' at all, as corporeality provides language with meaning under sociocultural and thus temporal constraints (Broadhurst 1999b, 17), what then are the implications for a virtual body? Therefore my overall question is: as digital technologies are becoming increasingly prominent in art practices, does the resultant physical/virtual interface give rise to a new aesthetics? What are the theoretical and practical implications of this?' (Broadhurst, 2007 p. 1)
