  • Virtual Celebrities and Consumers: a Blended Reality
    Virtual Celebrities and Consumers: A Blended Reality How virtual celebrities are consumed in the East and West Author: Thuy Duong Hoang (115821) Yidan Su (115392) Supervisor: Claus Springborg Master’s Thesis, MSocSc Management of Creative Business Processes Copenhagen Business School Date of submission: May 15, 2019 Pages: 117 (31.960 words, 202.544 characters) excl. front page, bibliography and appendix Abstract The goal of this study is to research how virtual celebrities are consumed in the East and West. The digital revolution has led to a surge in circulation of information. This has contributed to the transformation of human attention from an innate information gathering tool to a profitable resource, paving the way for the economy of attention. Therefore, it is significant for marketers and companies to understand how to attract attention. As celebrities enjoy large amounts of attention, they have been widely used in endorsement campaigns. Yet, their human flaws can still lead to scandals. Therefore, we argue that virtual celebrities can be used as an alternative. They are a new type of celebrity, who are able to perform ‘real life’ activities and earn money. Examples from the East include the virtual singer Hatsune Miku and the virtual YouTuber Kizuna AI, while the West is represented by the virtual band Gorillaz, or virtual model Lil Miquela, among others. A descriptive approach is used to describe the preferences of Eastern and Western consumers in context of virtual celebrities. Our research philosophy consists of objectivism and positivism. Applying a deductive research strategy, we draw hypotheses from literature, which will be tested using quantitative methods.

  • Collaboration and Embodiment in Networked Music Interfaces for Live Performance
    Collaboration and Embodiment in Networked Music Interfaces for Live Performance Chad McKinney Submitted for the degree of D.Phil. University of Sussex October, 2016 Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis has not been submitted, either in the same or different form, to this or any other university for a degree. Signature: Supervisors: Dr. Nick Collins & Dr. Martin Berger Examiners: Acknowledgements I am incredibly indebted to the tremendous support and generosity of my wife Jessica, and our two amazing children, Lorelei and Tristan. They have followed me across the world and helped me follow my dreams. They believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and kept me grounded when I became lost. I am also incredibly grateful to have had two of the most inspiring, knowledgeable, and supportive supervisors, Nick Collins and Martin Berger. Nick began me on this journey and never led me astray. Witnessing his daring work and hearing his sharp wit are two things I’ll dearly miss about this time. As well, Martin has been been an incredibly consistent and energizing figure. He provoked interesting and new ideas and helped build my confidence when I sorely lacked it. The execution of this research could not have been possible without my collabora- tors and friends, Cole Ingraham, Curtis McKinney, and Benjamin O’Brien. They suffered through my mad whimsy and endured experimentations with software version of highly dubious stability. Their creativity and insight made this research much better than it could have been otherwise. I would like to especially thank Curtis, who started down a path that I’ve only been following.

  • Virtual Spaces and Gendered Meanings in the Production and Performances of Studio Killers
    Volume 7 (2019) ISSN 1751-7788 Virtual Spaces and Gendered Meanings in the Production and Performances of Studio Killers John Richardson University of Turku Questions of virtuality and imagined space have long been recognised as impinging on 1 matters of gender and its transformation in modernity, the unstated assumption often being that visual images play a dominant – even determining – role in communicating gender and sexual politics. Audiovisuality is nevertheless central to some of the arguments I will be making here about gendered meanings in the music and performances of the virtual band Studio Killers. In a sense, however, the voice and its relation to gender precedes visuals in the examples I will be discussing as I will argue that the music alone already communicates powerful gendered meanings. There exists a substantial amount of research already on the relationship between the singing voice, gendered experience and sexual politics, which it will not be primary task of this article to elucidate. I would, however, like to begin this article with a few general points about the voice that I consider useful in setting up the more specific discussion that will follow on the transvestic voice in Studio Killers’ music. Which and whose voice(s) are we talking about? i) Since the voice (the physical voice of a singer) is the main focal point in the majority of 2 popular music, it makes sense to pay close attention to it. (It is often mixed to the fore; the singer is usually located centre-stage both visually and in terms of panning conventions; the singer addresses audiences ‘front on’.) ii) The voice can be other things aside from the material thing (the voice of singer), action 3 (the act of singing) or experience (the phenomenal voice).

  • Future Pioneers - Macross Plus As Both Nexus and New Paradigm for Genre Tropes in 90S Anime
    Masters dissertation awarded by the department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, SOAS University of London eprints.soas.ac.uk/id/eprint/29828 Future pioneers - Macross Plus as both nexus and new paradigm for genre tropes in 90s anime Laurence Green 1 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Introduction 3 Part 1: ‘Post-Human’ entities - The machine in imitation of life 5 Part 2: ‘Stateless’ states - Crafting a culturally diverse future-topia 13 Part 3: A carnival of genres - Robots, romance and revelry 25 Conclusion 32 Bibliography 33 2 Abstract Traditionally, studies of the cyberpunk genre within anime have centered around landmark films such as Akira (1988) and Ghost in the Shell (1995); their techno-orientalist aesthetic contributing toward a ‘boom’ in anime’s popularity in the West. In contrast, I take Shōji Kawamori & Shinichirō Watanabe’s Macross Plus (1994) as my focal point, examining how the film blends and remixes diverse audio and visual influences to present a more globalistic, culturally-blended vision of the future. I argue that this distinctly postmodern, stateless quality allows the film to act as both nexus between old modes and new, as well as a lens through which me might better understand how key genre tropes have evolved as part of anime’s wider media mix. Introduction 3 The 1990s represented a crucial turning point for Japanese animation - marking a watershed for the medium’s burgeoning fandom in the West, whilst also encapsulating rapidly evolving visual and stylistic trends; driven forward by a new generation of creative figures - born in the 60s, voraciously consuming a broad range of media of both Eastern and Western origin as they grew up, and now coming of age.

Copyright © 2009 Cambridge University Press, pp. 239–255 doi:10.1017/S0261143009001809 Printed in the United Kingdom Torpedoing the authorship of popular music: a reading of Gorillaz’ ‘Feel Good Inc.’ LARS ECKSTEIN Englisches Seminar, Universität Tübingen, Wilhelmstr. 50, D-72074 Tübingen, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article addresses problems of authorship and creative authority in popular music, in particular in view of a pervasive split between modes of aesthetic production (involving modernist assemblage, multiple authorship, and the late capitalist logic of major label policies) and modes of aesthetic reception (which tend to take popular music as the organic output of individual performers). While rock musicians have attempted to come to terms with this phenomenon by either performing a ‘Romantic’ sense of authenticity (basically by importing folk values to the production process) or ‘Modernist authenticity’ (by highlighting experimen- tation and alienation), Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, creators of Gorillaz, found a third way which ingeniously allows them to do both. By creating a virtual rock band, and by hiding their own media personalities behind those of their virtual alter egos, they brought themselves into a position which allows them to produce ‘sincere’ popular music which ‘playfully’ stages the absurdities of major label music business while very successfully operating within its very confines.
