exploration
1.Does "exploration" in the context below mean
a) our experience of theatrical turn in as modern humans
b) the study of theatrical turn in the next chapters of this certain book
2. Does "we may be a little further" here imply "we may be only a little farther", that is "we will not go much farther"?
Context:
Perhaps, then, where Virilio and Lotringer conclude in their exchanges that art ‘no longer plays an artistic role’, we are not that far from Lefebvre’s ‘the future of art is not artistic, but urban’ – a notion which incorporates, as we have seen, the ludic (or performing) body. And, moreover, we may be a little further in our exploration of the ‘theatrical turn’ in contemporary art.

As always, this is so vaguely expressed that it could mean several things. It depends upon what "our" means. My first guess is that "our exploration" means the discussion led by the writer (which includes the reader) in this essay.

- Writers often use the royal "we" when talking about themselves.
- Of course, it could also mean "all us humans"--in which case the writer is talking about how people currently view art.
