- Aesthetic analysis of post-human bodies in virtual reality performancePublication . Huifeng, Zhang; Raposo, Daniel; Neves, João Vasco; Silva, R.; Castilho, M.L.C.; Dias, RuiThe development of new media technology provides a broader vision for the performing arts, and performance gradually begins to integrate with Virtual Reality (VR). The subjectivity of virtual reality performers, as human beings, becomes increasingly ambiguous, giving rise to diverse digital "post-human bodies." These post-human bodies, empowered bidirectionally from finite to infinite in virtual reality performances, generate artistic life with warmth and texture through reception, deconstruction, and reorganization. They create moments of creativity in the infinitely ex tended ambiance and establish an artistic atmosphere full of immersive sensations and aesthetic significance in the virtual space and time. This paper designs six forms of post human bodies. A total of 31 dancers were recruited in two rounds to experience wearing VR equipment. This study employs a qualitative research design to explore dancers' perceptions of experiencing post-human bodies in VR. In this process, it is more important to emphasize the connotation that the performance content brings to the audience, rather than focusing on the expansion of technology.
