Subway is a participatory multi-located activist art project. It builds on the mediation of a dance performance by breaking a video apart into its image frames; creating a photo app in Android to re-use these frames as guides for a frame-by-frame reenactment; and finally reassembling the collected images into a new video. Through the affordances of digital and mobile media, it allowed participants in New York and Teheran to create a shared dance performance as digital activist art. Keywords: Digital Performance, Activism, Mobile Technology, Dance, Participation. 1 Introduction This paper describes the participatory art project Subway that used cell phone technology to combine different forms of mediated performances in Iran and the United States into a shared dance piece. Based on a collaboration between performance artist Ava Ansari and digital designer Andrew Quitmeyer at the Digital World and Image Group, Subway involved numerous performers in Iran, New York, and Atlanta who contributed in an asynchronous dance performance with the help of an Android cell phone application. The goal of this collaboration was not to add technology to an artistic practice but to build on an existing performance art and create a new responding piece that uses the technology as a transformational tool. 1.1 Building on Technological Affordances Communication technology has been credited to support powers for social change in various forms. Because communication is so important in shaping a political climate, repressive regimes often aim to control it in the form of state-run TV stations or censorship of press. However, digital communication channels such as cell phones and online media can be difficult to control. Their flexibility adaptability force some local powers that want to suppress any activist communication to switch off certain services completely. This shut-down behavior by authority against new media has G. De Michelis et al.
