"OPEN CULTURE AND THE NATURE OF NETWORKS", Felix Stalder

The book “Open Cultures and the Nature of Networks” by Felix Stalder speaks upon contemporary aspects of cultural production and consumption, ranging from the de-centering of authorship, which moves away from individuals to groups, networks or communities, to the blurring of the line between artists and their audiences, the organization of cultural industries, the adaptation of intellectual property law, the future development of technology, the status of a work of art itself and the other processes inspired by movement for Free and Open Source Software. The book contains his 11 essays writen in last eight years. More about the book and its free download at: http://www.kuda.org/kudaread_oc.htm
