Sažetak

Contemporary political movements of the street are structured as an amalgam of physical and virtual reality. The link between these new revolutions and digital technology is not reflected only in the possibility of new forms of communication, or to raising the level of efficiency in achieving the prescribed goals, but also in completely original patterns of behaviour and action, which are a sort of intrusion of cyber-space culture into the physical reality. Performative language and other aesthetical forms are present not only as models of behaviour in today’s protests, from the Middle East to Occupy Wall Street, but also in the structure of events as such. This phenomenon, which is observable in the times of its beginnings and the still uncertain directions of its evolution, as well as concrete physical action all the way down to corporal sacrifice, takes over the register of cyber-space and the artistic, especially performing discourse as a sort of translator and network distributor, offering a possibility of sensing new, vital spaces constructed by art for its survival and action in the future world, where human identity will normally be distributed in several areas simultaneously. Such oscillations of the Subject between several realities have so far been observed in the field of the performing arts, especially theatre, and then in the performative, mostly in the field of aestheticism, while their analyses have naturally been contemplative and philosophical in style, without focusing on the direct and current impact on social change. By establishing cyber-space as a stabile culture, the long awaited two-direction communication channel has been created, which is also an all-encompassing memory. This has made it possible to create new artistic and political forms, which publicly play out memories of their own histories as linguistic material in order to establish the forms of communication that are currently available, ironizing at the same time all traditional consequences of using such histories.
