The closure of live music venues and inactive live music cultural hubs the disarray of performance-based communities in relation to the pandemic.
I will not make boring art. This statement is boring.
Barad
Karen Barad (2010) states, “Every being made killable on a mass-scale by twentieth-century technologies …”
I propose that this theory may be extended to twenty-first-century technology, moreover, the internet, and applied to the digitisation of music and pop-culture.
The concept raise more questions than it answers as the digitisation presents unquestionable benefits primarily in the accessibility to recorded music and international fan forums.
In contrast, digitisation of live music culture falls short.
Why?
How?
Solution?
Political legislation and live music culture.
Summary.
Barad (2010) states, “Every being made killable on a mass-scale by twentieth-century technologies, whether victims of Auschwitz, or hibakusha of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or the victims of the Dresden firestorm, or the many other victims (some of whom lived as ghosts even before they died), and not only those deaths related to WWII but also other entangled high-tech massacres of populations made killable, or at least dispensable, whether at Bhopal, Chernobyl, Bikini Atoll, or elsewhere. And not only human ghosts, but all manner of ghostly beings (including the millions sacrificed each year by the killing machines of industrial meat production). Atomic ghosts.”
