Rasmus Fleischer: Det Postdigitala Manifestet: Hur musik äger rum (2009) [Swedish]

3 March 2010, dusan

Upptäckandet av ny musik går idag oändligt mycket snabbare än före internet. Vi känner till mycket mer musik, fyller fickorna med mängder musik som för inte länge sedan vore ofattbara. Men hur är det möjligt att välja? Hur är det med vår förmåga att sättas i rörelse av musik?

Det senaste decenniets digitalisering har skapat helt nya villkor för vårt förhållande till musik. Fram till i slutet av 1990-talet kunde skivbolagen och etermedierna fortfarande reglera utbudet. Sedan sprack cd-bubblan och musiklandskapet svämmade över. Idag är musikutbudet oöverblickbart.

I Det postdigitala manifestet sonderar Rasmus Fleischer överflödets terräng. Den utmaning som vi ställs inför i den postdigitala kulturen är inte att producera ännu fler låtar, utan att gallra i överflödet. Någon måste välja. Detta ofrånkomliga urval aktualiserar frågor om makt och ansvar. Musik är inte ljudfiler på en hårddisk eller noter på ett blad, utan en form av samvaro och gemenskap.

Kazys Varnelis (ed.): Networked Publics (2008)

22 October 2009, dusan

Digital media and network technologies are now part of everyday life. The Internet has become the backbone of communication, commerce, and media; the ubiquitous mobile phone connects us with others as it removes us from any stable sense of location. Networked Publics examines the ways that the social and cultural shifts created by these technologies have transformed our relationships to (and definitions of) place, culture, politics, and infrastructure.

Four chapters—each by an interdisciplinary team of scholars using collaborative software—provide a synoptic overview along with illustrative case studies. The chapter on place describes how digital networks enable us to be present in physical and networked places simultaneously (on the phone while on the road; on the Web while at a café)—often at the expense of non-digital commitments. The chapter on culture explores the growth of amateur-produced and -remixed content online and the impact of these practices on the music, anime, advertising, and news industries. The chapter on politics examines the new networked modes of bottom-up political expression and mobilization, and the difficulty in channeling online political discourse into productive political deliberation. And finally, the chapter on infrastructure notes the tension between openness and control in the flow of information, as seen in the current controversy over net neutrality. An introduction by anthropologist Mizuko Ito and a conclusion by architecture theorist Kazys Varnelis frame the chapters, giving overviews of the radical nature of these transformations.
