Seni Digital: Urgensi Platform Seni di Era Pandemi

Abstract

ABSTRAK. Berlakunya peraturan lockdown atas penyebaran virus Covid-19 yang berlangsung sejak bulan Maret tahun 2019 hingga sekarang memberikan dampak yang signifikan bagi komunitas seni anak muda di daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta khususnya komunitas Flownesia. Hal ini menyebabkan komunitas Flownesia mengalami pasang surut kegiatan berkesenian secara live karena keterbatasan sarana dan prasarana dalam menyongsong pertunjukan digital live art. Komunitas Flownesia adalah komunitas pemuda yang memiliki minat dalam seni flowart, martial art, dan digital art dengan konsep tradisi dan modern. Tulisan ini diharapkan membuka peluang baru oleh pemerintah, khususnya pembuatan program platform digital yang mendukung perkembangan komunitas seni anak muda di Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode netnografi, yaitu melakukan penelitian secara virtual untuk melihat pengembangan wacana fasilitas digital live art dalam platform seni Kemenparekraf dan LiveArtUk. Berdasarkan hasil analisis yang ada dibutuhkan platform digital live art yang juga mampu menjembatani kreativitas seniman, membuka ruang diskusi, menyediakan lab dance, dan merancang infrastruktur pertunjukan online yang memadai. Platform berdaya internet tersebut seperti layaknya grup diskusi resmi (official) yang dibawahi langsung oleh pemerintah pusat.
