Entrepreneurship on the Art Arena
Today, a conference on Entrepreneurship and Art organized by Mikael Scherdin and Ivo Zander from Uppsala University started in Stockholm. While the organizers chose an evolutionary theme, also the production of novelty and the logic of funding institutions stood in the center of discussion - the production of novelty might include producing its own selection system, active enough for artists who’re constantly facing the Invisible Foot (Mikael Scherdin)… Aacorn members present include: Kent Hansen, Ann Sofie Köping, Katja Lindqvist, Stefan Haefliger.
I had the opportunity to present Stefan Meisiek’s and my paper on renewal, and we triggered quite some discussions regarding the notion of novelty and the definitions of the “radically new”. I found out that I didn’t really have a concept of “radically new”, probably because I consider this to be very subjective and I saw surprising technological innovations in software labeled as copies AND radical novelties at the same time by different people.
