1) "...in order to show the functioning of the whole of society, they explored the specific site which their activities unfolded..." (p. 70)
This quote seems to describe how Bourraiaud has tried to prove his point throughout the book. Is it possible to make assumptions based on specifics within a larger population? Does making this observation (about someone else’s work) help or hinder the argument Bourraiaud is making?
2) Is ownership truly antiquated in world that largely values capitalist ideologies (esp. the USA)? Do collective ideas created by aspects of contemporary culture (like the internet and DJs) feed into capitalism? Authorship? Ownership?
3) “…one must first inhabit the form of what one wants to criticize.” (p. 74)
Assuming the collective is currently paramount and artists are becoming part of a history (oppose to creating a finite product with a beginning and ending), is it possible to understand something to the point where one can be critical?
4) “…all the works of the past must be “reinvested” or disappear.” (p.37)
At what point does the work of the past disappear? Is this still a possibility in the age of information?
5) If choosing is equal to fabrication what is the point of creation?
