# Free culture
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is so much confusion and misunderstanding about all these elements because they manifest and materialise differently at several levels, via a process of rationalisation that leads to the fragmentation of cultural freedom into new codes of meaning, the ideological and emotional nature
|
||
|
|
of which can be contradictory to or incompatible with each other. As a consequence, free culture ends up being simply many different things at once:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A toolkit for artists to expand their practice and free themselves from consumerist workflows;
|
||
|
|
* A template for political statements against authorities of any kind;
|
||
|
|
* A novel creative legal and technical framework to interface with and support existing copyright law practices;
|
||
|
|
* A lifestyle, and sometimes fashionable statement to go along with the marketing of all things free and open;
|
||
|
|
* An economic model that tries to reconcile the legacy of radical anti-property art practice with the reformist nature of social critique;
|
||
|
|
* An aesthetic in the sense of an audiovisual language, like meme culture, but also a number of novelty appropriative frameworks ranging from semionauts to circulationism.
