Helen Varley Jamieson is a Munich-based digital media artist from New Zealand. She "is engaged in an ongoing exploration of the collision between theatre and the internet"[1] "The ABC Experiment". Avatar Body Collision. Retrieved 23/10/2012. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |accessdate= (help) Since 1997 she has been working on the internet professionally [2]. In the year 2000 Helen Varley Jamieson coined the term cyberformance. This term is a combination of two words, cyberspace and performance. Jamieson states that "cyberformance can be located as a distinct form within the subsets of networked performance and digital performance, and within the overall form of theatre, as it is a live performance form with an audience that is complicit in the completion of the work in real time."[3]

Cyberformances are "live theatrical performances in which remote participants are able to work together in real time through the medium of the internet." [4]In her Master Thesis, Jamieson states that "cyberformance, like all forms of theatre and artistic expression, offers a means to approach and respond to the changing world we exist in."[5]

In 2008 Helen Varley Jamieson completed her MA (research) degree in Cyberformance from Queensland University of Technology entitled "Adventures in Cyberformance: experiments at the interface of theatre and the internet" [6]
