The Impact of Kickstarter, Creative Commons & Creators Project | Off Book | PBS

The internet has intensified connections between people across the planet. In this episode we take a look at the impact of this new interconnectivity on the art world. Traditional funding models are dissolving, new forms of expressing ownership have arisen to accomodate for remix culture, and artists are finding ways to connect physical art experiences and traditions to the internet. In the digital era, the experience of art from the perspective of the artist and the art audience is shifting rapidly, and bringing more people into the creative process.

Featuring:

Yancey Strickler, Co-Founder of Kickstarter
Lawrence Lessig, Co-Founder of Creative Commons
Ciel Hunter, Creative Director of Creators Project
Julia Kaganskiy, Editor of Creators Project

This is a fantastic series. We ourselves are trying to get our series a float. Very inspirational. Thanks!

As long as the powers to be don't clamp down on the freedom that the internet enables, I'm very hopeful for the future. Amazing times we live in.

[Richard Collins]

It's amazing what we, the people, can create when we are allowed to without the chains and boundaries of geography and social background. The internet is bringing us together, educating us and showing us what we can be when we are all friends.

[Yuan Zhang]

PBS offbook itself could become an episode.
