Weblogmusic: Taking the Mediatized Stage
Article No.: 93, Pages 1 - 6
Abstract
Weblogmusic (http://weblogmusic.org) is a web-based platform for performers to improvise in asynchronous virtual ensembles and for audiences to experience these performances in ways that reflect the impact of technological mediation on human interaction, the human values and sensibilities in mediated experiences, and the power of mediation as an expressive element in art. These born-digital performances only exist in the moment of playback. The turn-based, time-shifted format compels performers and audiences to probe their senses of presence and authenticity. It is designed to exploit the unpredictable aspects of networked communication and embrace them as a distinct expressive dimension in composition, to probe the values at work in any kind of human connection. This is especially pertinent given the global shift to videocalls during the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting void of live performances.
