      txt: The Free Market: A False Idol After All?
      For more than a quarter-century, the dominant idea guiding economic policy in the United States and much of the globe has been that the market is unfailingly wise. So wise that the proper role for government is to steer clear and not mess with the gusher of wealth that will flow, trickling down to the every level of society, if only the market is left to do its magic.

      Let's shut down our computer, turn off connections, forget our smartshits. It's Christmas, it's the end of another year. Go outside. Meet your friends, your love, find people, real people. Small real people. Breath. Live. Merry Xmas to all of us. img: The Internet Was Closed...

      txt: Fair Use Vs. Free Speech in the Internet Age: The Lane Hartwell Problem - www.techcrunch.com
      The rights of the copyright holder have always been balanced against the more fundamental right of free speech. And free speech in the Internet age, more so than ever before, goes way beyond words and text. The way people express themselves on the Web increasingly involves images, video, animations, and other rich media, often in mash-ups of pre-existing works. That is how people communicate today. Both copyright law and industry standards need to evolve to take that into consideration.

      The Oxford report, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, delineates four groups: univores, who like popular culture; omnivores, who like everything from Posh Spice to Puccini; paucivores, who absorb little culture; and inactives, who absorb none (is that possible?). There aren't enough ageing judges to justify a separate group of artivores.

      oddtag: I haven't read the magazine, but these questions (it's always the questions the best clues) caught me.. txt: www.pavilionmagazine.org - What was socialism, and what comes next - issue 10/11 via: e-flux.com
      The changes of 1989 did more than disturb western complacency about the "new world order" and preempt the imagined fraternity of a new European Union: they signaled that a thorough-going reorganization of the globe is in course. In that case, we might wonder at the effort to implant perhaps-obsolescent western forms in "the East." This is what I mean: what comes next is anybody's guess.

      txt: No Title Required - Wislawa Szymborska (Polish Nobel Prize winner) via: new-art.blogspot.com
      [...] So it happens that I am and look. Above me a white butterfly is fluttering through the air on wings that are its alone, and a shadow skims through my hands that is none other than itself, no one else’s but its own. When I see such things, I’m no longer sure that what’s important is more important than what’s not.
      txt: 2008 - Frieze Magazine - frieze asked 23 critics and curators from around the world to choose what they are looking forward to in 2008
      Jan Verwoert: I’m looking forward to more time spent alone and with friends on invoking micro-societies dedicated to the appreciation of art, ideas and other workable ways to live a good life. Anton Vidokle: I see more and more evidence of artistic, discursive and organizational practices coalescing into a kind of an undifferentiated mode of art production. This phenomenon has as much to do with rethinking basic economic structures behind art practice as with rethinking the traditional categories of artistic roles and circulation of art. I look forward to seeing these tendencies being further articulated in the forthcoming year.

      But what about the artists who effectively harness the commercial forces of our cultural moment, which Saltz and his editors at New York find so distasteful? Their post-Warholian impact on the current artistic landscape cannot be dismissed with simplistic ethical arguments: money is bad, so art tainted by it is also bad. The fact is that there is no way to escape the market: it absorbs subversion and packages dissent, selling us an image of ourselves as conscientious objectors even when we are deeply entrenched in its system.

      txt: The Documenta 12 Effect - artintelligence.net
      In the Renaissance art served society, it played a fundamental role via the visual representation of Christian ideology. It also served the court, and in the 17th century it began to serve the rising bourgeoisie due to its capacity for visual representation. This fell apart in 1839 with the advent of the daguerreotype.

      We're planning a spectacular new building and we want to create a photographic 'Mood Board' of the kind of interior spaces, ambience and designs that people would like to find there. Favourite spaces might include a café or bar, chill-out space or lounge; it could be a domestic interior or a public space. We'll be blogging here regularly to get a conversation going, and we'll put the best photos and ideas generated into a display at Tate Modern in summer 2008.
