In this paper I try to draw an outline
for an understanding of online jamming as cultural performance.
Based on the work of the German theatre-theorist Erika Fischer-Lichte
and Gil Weinberg, professor of musical technology I tried to create
a topology of Ninjam as online music network. The main idea is that
this topology can be interpreted as a virtual space were meaning
is negotiated and created at the same time, thereby remediating
Fischer-Lichte's notion of the 'performative Raum'. Online jamming
creates its own virtual space, with its own charateristics that
influence the musical performance.
This paper was written for the master
course: 'Coding Culture: Digital Music Networks', University Utrecht.
