Troika Ranch is an American/German performance ensemble. It creates contemporary, hybrid artworks through an ongoing examination of the moving body and its relationship to technology. The company is the collaborative vision of artists Mark Coniglio and Dawn Stoppiello. [1]
Established in 1994, and based in Portland, Oregon and Berlin, Germany, Troika Ranch produces live performances, interactive installations and digital films. They combine traditional aspects of these forms with advanced technologies. [2] The artists' mission is to create artwork that best reflects and engages contemporary society.
The name Troika Ranch refers to Coniglio and Stoppiello's creative methodology, which involves a hybrid of three artistic disciplines, dance/theater/media (the Troika), in cooperative interaction (the Ranch). This method preceded the organization, which was formed as a means to support the artists'. During the 1990s, Troika Ranch was among the pioneers in the field that came to be known as Dance and Technology. They performed in festivals and venues internationally and were sought after as guest artists, teachers and lecturers.
In response to the desire in the international arts community to understand this emerging genre, Coniglio and Stoppiello began developing educational programs.
Their public outreach activities include workshops, lectures, online and traditional publications, websites, software and hardware. They conceptualized and invented much of the technology, equipment, and techniques currently in use. Their educational programs have become a significant part of their contribution to the arts.
Interactive art is a form of art that involves the spectator in a way that allows the art to achieve its purpose. Some interactive art installations achieve this by letting the observer or visitor "walk" in, on, and around them; some others ask the artist or the spectators to become part of the artwork.

The Austin Museum of Digital Art (AMODA) is located in Austin, Texas. It is the first museum dedicated exclusively to the display of digital art. AMODA was founded in 1997 by Harold Chaput, Samantha Krukowski and Chris Rankin in response to the abundance of digital art in the local scene and the absence of venues for digital art. AMODA has not only presented local artwork, but also has brought digital art and digital artists from around the globe to Austin. By collecting and placing local and global works next to each other, AMODA has contributed to the already growing digital art and music scene in Austin. Gaining recognition around the world as an important museum has helped shape the definition of digital art.

New media art includes artworks designed and produced by means of new media technologies, comprising virtual art, computer graphics, computer animation, digital art, interactive art, sound art, Internet art, video games, robotics, 3D printing, and cyborg art. The term defines itself by the thereby created artwork, which differentiates itself from that deriving from conventional visual arts. This emphasis on medium is a defining feature of much contemporary art and many art schools and major universities now offer majors in "New Genres" or "New Media" and a growing number of graduate programs have emerged internationally. New media art may involve degrees of interaction between artwork and observer or between the artist and the public, as is the case in performance art. Yet, as several theorists and curators have noted, such forms of interaction, social exchange, participation, and transformation do not distinguish new media art but rather serve as a common ground that has parallels in other strands of contemporary art practice. Such insights emphasize the forms of cultural practice that arise concurrently with emerging technological platforms, and question the focus on technological media, per se.
Digital Performance is a very wide category filled with a range of productions. It is performance that incorporates and integrates computer technologies and techniques. Performers can incorporate multimedia into any type of production whether it is live on a theatre stage or in the street. Anything as small as video recordings or a visual image classifies the production as multimedia. When the key role in a performance is the technologies, it is considered a digital performance. This can be as little as projections on a screen in front of a live audience to creating and devising a performance in an online environment to using animation and sensing software’s.
