dear Spectres, some years ago (most people here might have forgotten anyway) I've lamented my bad experience in contributing to the Piksel media art festival in Bergen. At that time I thought of proposing a guideline of sorts and hoped in the birth of some kind of unionism for all those of us who are content producers and end up being milked and thrown away by aggregators of sorts. I'm sure many of you out there have to go through such experiences.
Today I've found this http://www.promoterdb.com which might be of some interest. I'm not sure if this will work as expected and I'm not affiliated with it in any way. However it might be interesting to experiment, filling in some feedback about the good experiences at least. >From a unionist perspective it is somehow sad that the overall decay of labour based relationships within content producers and art institutions have lead to resort to such disgregating and passive methods. But then what else? Are on-line rating systems the place-holder for labour unions in a neo-lib world? ciao -- http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: 6113 D89C A825 C5CE DD02 C872 73B3 5DA5 4ACB 7D10 ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
