The term “local” can refer to material that is easily available. The local
can also refer to wherever the artist finds himself or herself. The “local”
is dynamic, fluid, and constantly changing. It involves an integration of
various media: dance, music, the visual, digital, and electronic arts; of
various geographies: local, transnational, national; and of various
spaces: the “actual” as staged to the virtual as eternally documented or
mediatized.
