Previous research, 2013

I have had the encouraging revelation (although to be honest I think I also had it right back at the start of this project but had forgotten about it...)that my previous research for other units has all been pointing to the point I now find myself with Art Mine.The essay I've attached was written for Reading In Digital Design, Semester 1, 2013, and "investigates the social characteristics of a digitally networked society and analyses them in terms of their implications for Visual Artists".Dig networks in Art World EssayThe Digital Designer profile is on Jonathan Harris and was written for Contexts in Digital Design, semester 2.  My research on Harris introduced me to the idea of the Gift Economy and The Purpose Economy both of which have influenced my direction into the Sharing Economy for this project.Jonathan Harris profile
