This project explores how musicians are turning to digital Web 2.0 media to perform live to audiences during the Covid-19 global pandemic. To better understand this cultural phenomenon, the research project introduces the concept of portal shows that employ a converge between traditional live gigs, screen media, and new media technologies. Analysing the performative, textual, affective, and economic dynamics of portal shows, the project argues these events offer novel and nuanced ways artists and audiences can engage with one another through spatial convergence afforded by video streaming technologies and digital interfaces, which is especially pertinent during the Coronavirus pandemic. Thus, the project seeks to help support the creative industries, artists, and audiences during this time of uncertainty.
