About

In this article, we explore the role of emotion in digital theater. Unlike heavily scripted productions, we create a theatrical agency which uses the world wide web to determine what content to deliver and how to deliver it with emotional competency. We describe the use of the web as a cultural artifact and how an autonomous agency can externalize these online connections during a performance. We address the problems that arise in bringing affect to an automated theatrical experience, and present our solution.
