Kata Kunci:

Clubhouse, relasi, ruang virtual, kehadiran

Abstrak

Beberapa diskusi kekinian tentang realitas ruang virtual menunjukkan bahwa ruang virtual dapat memediasi kehadiran antarsubjek dan menciptakan relasi yang bermakna. Artikel ini hendak menguji realisasi gagasan ini pada sebuah ruang komunikasi virtual bernama Clubhouse yang sempat marak menjadi perbincangan. Clubhouse merupakan aplikasi media sosial yang memungkinkan pengguna untuk terkoneksi secara langsung hanya melalui medium suara serta tanpa teks, gambar, foto, atau video. Awalnya, Clubhouse dibuka hanya untuk pengguna yang memiliki akses undangan dari pengguna sebelumnya. Akan tetapi, belakangan aplikasi ini dapat diakses secara bebas oleh seluruh pengguna internet tanpa undangan. Jika aplikasi Clubhouse dibaca sebagai sebuah “teks kultural,” akan ditemukan nilai-nilai yang bersinggungan dengan nilai-nilai Injil, yaitu tentang eksklusivitas dan inklusivitas, serta unsur memberi diri dalam sebuah relasi. Melalui pembacaan ini, Clubhouse dinilai dapat dijadikan salah satu alternatif ruang menjalin relasi, jika penggunaannya diimbangi dengan penciptaan konteks atau kondisi yang memastikan pengguna menyadari dan mengupayakan kesengajaan akan keberadaan dirinya; serta mengoptimalkan pemenuhan gambaran mental melalui ragam jejak kehadiran.
