is the ubiquity of photographic technology...
... changing music events in a fundamental way for everyone else?
most of the parties/shows i've been to recently are rife with people snapping away at performers and each other, often for the purposes of displaying in massive volumes on blogs and such. i get the increasing sense of dislocation from the event itself, like the whole thing is engineered for documentation.
i've seen lots not quite sure what the theoretical slant on this could be, but it's certainly a vibe killer to see the front row of a show entirely made up of cameras going off, people digesting the experience through their viewfinders. i
take this series of a david banner show, for example: http://styleslut.blogspot.com/
check the camera to spectator to performer ratio...
anyone else feeling this development?
