Sharpay Wu – The Construction of Imagined Communities through Bilibili Danmu Commentaries: Case Studies of ‘Year Hare Affair’ (2015-2019) and ‘Yao-Chinese Folktales’ (2023) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Abstract Bilibili isa popular Chinese video-streaming platform known for its synchronised Danmu commentary system which is particularly popular with younger audiences. A growing body of literature has explored digital nationalism in the context of Chinese social media participation, with Bilibili offering some important examples.

Read excerpt
Abstract This presentation reintroduces robotic musicianship as a way of understanding human–AI interaction through musical practice and performance. It begins with Savery’s recent work with Jen Music, a generative music start-up exploring ethical dataset construction, attribution, and transparency in AI training.
