The development of computer-based devices for music control has created a need to study how spectators understand new performance technologies and practices. As a part of a larger project examining how interactions with technology can be communicated to spectators, we present a model of a spectator's understanding of error by a performer. This model is broadly applicable throughout HCI, as interactions with technology are increasingly public and spectatorship is becoming more common. Keywords Spectator, performance, music controller, error. ACM Classification Keywords H5.5. Sound and Music Computing: Methodologies and Techniques; H5.2. User Interfaces: Theory and Methods
