Knowledge artisans work toward the centre no matter what, as they are employed. Their cooperative networks allow their skill sets to keep them mobile and adaptable even if work is contractual. Pre-industrial artisans, of which I am one (artist) must work independently, but can use social structures for support, information, etc. The problem is that of easing ones labours into a market economy, while hierarchical business practices still follow rigid patterns which will not allow a collaborative sharing of work and vision, based on mutual goals. Witholding information reduces the factor of trust, pushes both sides into entrenchment, and for the artist into searching newer, but undeveloped models. The unfortunate thing is that although artists have traditionally joined forces to develop new markets, the mainstream is commerce and by nature of the arts, liaisons only last until independence is reached. A paradigm shift for the arts outside of established structures? A new salon des refusés.
