Abstract
We describe a musical cyberworld as a virtual space for curating ethnomusicology, as well as for conducting research: the ethnomusicology of controlled musical cyberspaces. Our cyberworld differs from most online music curation in enabling immersive, social experience. Considering such cyber-exhibition of ethnomusicological research as itself a form of social and musical practice also calls for an ethnomusicology of such exhibits. Research in ethnomusicology has typically been conducted through qualitative fieldwork in uncontrolled settings. By contrast, we design a custom musical cyberworld as a virtual ethnomusicological laboratory, a platform for research geared towards better ways of designing online musical exhibitions for discovery, learning, and aesthetic contemplation, as well as contributing towards our general understanding of the role of music in human interaction and community formation.
Résumé
Nous décrivons ici un cybermonde musical qui est à la fois un espace virtuel de conservation ethnomusicologique et un espace de recherche : l’ethnomusicologie des cyberespaces musicaux contrôlés. Notre cybermonde diffère de la plupart des collections musicales en ligne en ce qu’il permet une expérience sociale d’immersion. Si l’on considère qu’une telle exposition numérique de recherche ethnomusicologique est en elle-même une forme de pratique sociale et musicale, cela exige également de nous que nous fassions l’ethnomusicologie de telles expositions. En général, la recherche en ethnomusicologie s’est effectuée sous la forme de travaux qualitatifs en situations non contrôlées. En contraste, nous concevons ce cybermonde musical d’usage comme un laboratoire ethnomusicologique virtuel, une plateforme de recherche ayant pour finalité de meilleures façons de concevoir les expositions de musique en ligne pour la découverte, l’apprentissage et la contemplation esthétique, ainsi que pour la contribution à notre compréhension d’ensemble du rôle de la musique dans l’interaction humaine et la formation des communautés.
