Culture and the commons
How and why art and open societies have sustained each other across history? How may they continue to do so beyond the crisis they jointly undergo in the current context of rapid technological, economic and political transformation? While focusing more specifically on artistic production, on its present crisis, and its possible futures, we put art in the broader perspective of the history of cultural production, and of its social, political and economic conditions of possibility at the modern intersection of state and market. Digitization and financialization, commodify, segment, and often alienate ever larger segments of our private lives and democratic public spheres. In response to these threats, theories of the commons and practices of commoning coming from the digital and art worlds are transforming the goals and means of art, politics, and economics on the margins of the old state-market infrastructure.
