"Podium this year looked at the interface of industry and art, posing provocative questions about the marketplace and the moving image to panels of nominally polarised speakers from the art world. In Cheap and Cheerful — Creative Industry or Cultural Exploitation?, economist Arjo Klamers (Erasmus University, Rotterdam) argued that we are moving away from an economy based on commodities to one based on imagination, on ethereal concepts, and that it is therefore difficult to attribute value to work which, in a post-industrial landscape, deals with intangibles such as ideas. Artists’ interaction with the ‘societal sphere’, in his economic model, is drawn from their relationships with peers and ‘family’, in their oikos (family) sphere, and less so the market."
