Pursuant to my personal experience to date, the work I have done and my consideration of these matters as elaborated on the preceding pages, the following questions arise:
- What effect does crowdsourcing—i.e. interaction by many unknown participants via the internet—have on artistic work and practice?
- Does it make a difference if an artist or a collective produces a project, and what exactly is the value added thereby?
- Which position does the artist assume and how much control is possible or necessary?
- Do the artist’s values and images change as a result of the participation of unknown persons via the internet, and does this have an influence on the self-image of the person who creates art?
- What types of problems confront an artistic creative process of this kind (of a legal, political, social or artistic nature) and what impact does this have on the artistic work?
Preconditions:
- Legal changes to date
- Technological changes; considerations from the perspective of the history of technology
- Social changes
- Considerations from the perspective of the history of culture
