One person controls the process

Competition for sale of goods between artists

Market:

Sale of cultural good (photo, film)‏

Both can be based either

on mass distribution (tv, dvd) or prints

On art uniqueness status = reputation of maker makes work a collector item that is extremely expensive

Capitalist Frameworks According to Boltanski & Chiappello (01)‏ 2nd phase of liberal capitalism (50s)‏ Liberal society = Competition is at the source of progress Economy = mass production and distribution of standardized goods Competition between economic agents Artist = economy agents, entrepreneurs Passive Worker  autonomy of action but not thoughts  passive audience 3rd phase of network society capitalism more humanistic in nature (70s-90s)‏ Active society = Cooperation and reciprocity = principal factor of progress Economy= Innovation Collaboration between social agents Participatory processes Artists = cultural agent Worker  autonomy of action and thoughts  needs to learn from others, engage in dialog works in professional communities of practice

According to Boltanski & Chiappello (01)‏

2nd phase of liberal capitalism (50s)‏

Liberal society = Competition is at the source of progress

Economy = mass production and distribution of standardized goods

Competition between economic agents

Artist = economy agents, entrepreneurs

Passive Worker  autonomy of action but not thoughts  passive audience

3rd phase of network society capitalism more humanistic in nature (70s-90s)‏

Active society = Cooperation and reciprocity = principal factor of progress Economy= Innovation

Collaboration between social agents

Participatory processes

Artists = cultural agent

Worker  autonomy of action and thoughts  needs to learn from others, engage in dialog

works in professional communities of practice

The introduction of electronic systems often comes with a desire to create a new separation and articulation between production and diffusion functions (Moeglin 98).

Neo-industrial phase= Self-service model

Self-service Shift towards self-service  requires hyper-autonomous consumers and workers rise of a 4 th phase of capitalism Neo-liberal society = Coopetition : Cooperation and reciprocity (humanist) coexist with hierarchy and coordination (liberal)‏ Economy= Self-service ICT mediate Workers-Client Relationships = self-controlled, internalised a set values, autonomy of action and thoughts and ability to operate in a social network Human -centered activities  working in personal and professional networks Artist= Entrepreneurial cultural agent

What is Web 2.0? Databases + Network = Aggregation of Content A platform that changes our understanging and use of mass media Allows to move from presentation to social media

Databases + Network

= Aggregation of Content

A platform that changes our understanging and use of mass media

Allows to move from presentation to social media

Social Media Connect People with past and existing physical relationships Exchange of information with each other. I.e. facebook, delicious Aggregation of interest : Community of interest: prosumer, viewser Non institutionally funded construction of cultural meaning impact real life activities : I.e. Copy Right law Asynchronous communication: no simultaneous co-presence Cartesian mind-body relationship: representation of intellectual processes (Shinkle, 2007)
