This paper intends to show how the question of liveness and with it the question of presence can be positioned rather than the last century. Through a mediarcheological look, the work intends to show how liveness is, at least since the end of the 19th century, the child of continuous negotiations between space, media and the human body. This negotiation is clearly more profound and complex today because it is the result of forms of profound mediatisation of the world and the performative parts. For this reason, the contribution finally intends to reason around the concept of vanish liveness, that is, those forms of digital liveness, produced by platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Clubhouse, in which the live event is not archived and is usable, just like the “live” event, only by those who share a time.
