Abstract
This paper addresses the potential for the tactic of ‘Open Triggers’ in reproducing the commons by promoting agency for viewers/listeners engaged with ‘new’ television arts practice. It explores this potential through revisiting acts and sites of television’s history through processes of enactment, specifically the projected online reenactment of Luigi Pirandello’s play The Man with the Flower in his Mouth, the first UK television drama, broadcast by John Logie Baird (with the BBC) in 1930, which took place in Baird’s studio at 133 Long Acre, London1. This forthcoming practice called reenacttv.net and made in collaboration with Baird’s grandson, Iain Logie Baird and will be closely referenced in this paper.
