Zusammenfassung:The openness of art -- Playing with algorithms -- Tactics of resistance to governance over the bodies -- Science, technology, and the arts -- Hybrid art and the democratization of science -- Tactical media -- Art as investment -- Art addressing consumerism -- Creativity in the service of capital : the cultural and creative industries
In global terms, creative industries are on the rise, as are new media investigations in art and initiatives that encourage innovation in the arts, for end-use in the economy. However, there is a significant lack of critical reflection on this form of creative production. This important book points out the dangers and downfalls that accompany such a boom of the creative industries and the subordination of art to the economy and politics. Specifically, it shows that art, as a mode of social and aesthetic practice, is losing the very thing which it has striven for so desperately in the course of modernity: its independence from other spheres of human activity.
