Ubimus, Post-anthropocentrism and the Ubiquitous Immateriality of Musical Stuff

Keywords: ubiquitous music, ubimus, musical stuff, anthropocentrism, (de)coloniality, environmental crisis

Abstract

Research into ubiquitous music (ubimus) interacts with a changing ecosystem of technological resources, based on the many social and cognitive demands of music composition (Keller et al. 2014; Lazzarini et al. 2020). Technological design in ubimus requires strategies involving more aesthetically flexible interaction than those that currently exist, to foster sustainable creative thinking (Keller et al. 2021). Thus, these propositions are aligned with decolonial and post-anthropocentric approaches. Decoloniality may provide a key to unlocking some of the analytical contradictions of current artistic research. To illustrate these arguments, a case study is documented: The Ubiquitous Immateriality of Musical Stuff.
