Live broadcasting, Networked audiovisual, Connected listening, RosalíaAbstract
The article discusses transformations in the poetics of live concert broadcasting in light of how we experience music and audiovisual media in digital environments. Based on singer Rosalía's performance at Lollapalooza Brazil 2023, broadcast by Multishow and fan profiles on social media platforms, the study analyses how the dynamics of television broadcasting are linked to smartphones, vertical images, selfies and TikTok gestures. By emulating the visual grammars of social media, Rosalía and her team activate a complex network of dispositifs that points to changes in the broadcasting experience, which is now more fragmented, entangled, and marked by vertical images.
