- HOW CREATORS ARE STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE IN THE AGE OF BILLIONAIRES AND BIG TECH
Presented Live Online by Dr. William Deresiewicz
The tech industry says that there’s never been a better time to be an artist. Artists say that it’s hardly ever been worse. So which account is true? Since people are still making a living as artists today, how are they managing to do it? William Deresiewicz, a leading critic of the arts and of contemporary culture, set out to answer those questions. Based on interviews with artists of all kinds, The Death of the Artist argues that we are in the midst of an epochal transformation. If artists were artisans in the Renaissance, bohemians in the nineteenth century, and professionals in the twentieth, a new paradigm is emerging in the digital age, one that is changing our fundamental ideas about the nature of art and the role of the artist in society. Join 2013 Hiett Prize winner William Deresiewicz for a presentation and discussion of his latest book.
Wonderful man, this author. He is not an artist, yet understands us. His objectivity and compassion, his range on all aspects of art in the world as well as the inner world of an artist, are indeed a much-needed expression available to all who read books.
HOW CREATORS ARE STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE IN THE AGE OF BILLIONAIRES (AND) BIG TECH *AND THE DANG AMATEURS* -- Still, agree with his conclusions. It's more competitive, compensations is poorer, but some people still make it work.
The word that I prefer over "consumer" is appreciator. I feel hugely offended when I'm referred to as a consumer, I can imagine many others are disgusted by this word too.
keeo on imagining, and being disgusted,
expectator. Or audience.
loved this~ much needed
Yes, the crescendo of the ending. Like a leap of idea into a provocative mind question. Bravo 👏 Fast Art !
Great video. I must read this book...
please also make a version translated in italian!
With only 7 minutes into the talk, my question is - did the author consider the new subscription-based models, pioneered by Patreon, followed by many, include UA-cam itself, with the new "Join" feature, that allows consumers setting up a recurring donation to the channel owners?
You have to listen more than 7 minutes to hear him talk about Patreon 😅
Enlightening, depressing, necessary.
i quite my vocation to make a living
Art "deserves remuneration".....? So who gets to decide what constitutes "art," then? I'm an author in the self-publishing world and this chick he interviewed sounds like a dreamer who's not in touch with what people want to read. Literary fiction doesn't sell anyway! And who wants to pay for a "series of vignettes"?? Art does get remunerated. When it's the kind people actually want. People will give money even if they don't have to, in order to support an artist they believe in. The self-publishing world is an almost pure meritocracy. Either you're producing something people want to pay for, or you're not. 99.9% of artists are not producing anything worth paying for. But in this, nothing has really changed, except the market can make its own decisions instead of being subject to the whims of the Big Five with their huge marketing budgets
things don't really change. If ya can't make it work you're not good enough. Prof Peterson and his lectures on hierarchies apply here, too.
