Abstract
This final chapter seeks to sum up what a live intermedial event is, how it is made and what emerges from such events. The first section involves a consideration of ‘event’ as read through Derrida and Deleuze and a formulation of the particular elements that constitute a live intermedial event. This is followed by analysis of two of these key elements—intermedial improvisation and the autopoietic system that generates intermedial events. Finally, two contrasting events are considered, leading to a formulation of what emerges from live intermedial events in all their forms and a set of terms and distinctions that define live intermediality.
