Just tried this, it’s better, though a bit bulkier than a true old-fashioned: campari wash, 2 sugar cubes, 2 shakes creole bitters, 10g grapefruit juice, stir. 40g Old Overholt, 20g seltzer, grapefruit twist.

Makes sense; it’s an old question in a changing game. Some voices have prioritized access over others: how do we deal with this? I would love to see a post from you on the borders of the internet arts economy. So many interesting possibilities there.

Trying to write without constant caveats is one of the reasons I don’t write hefty posts about feminism all the time.

That’s actually a super important point in basically everything I write about here. “The new system” and “the new economy” is a way a lot of people talk about this stuff, as if when YouTube switched on the entire structure of culture switched tracks immediately.

I often like to point out to people in these discussions how many people watch television, and the explosive growth of newspapers in India. The “new system” we’re all analyzing isn’t totally pervasive yet, but we do still need rules to figure out how to function in it, since it’s growing and we don’t see where it’ll stop growing.

I agree with you – I just can’t always say “not everyone does this!” since it would have to appear as a parenthetical in like every sentence.

Maybe when I have more time and research handy I’ll talk about the borders of the internet arts economy…

I’d say that the idea of the new economy being built solely upon the platform of the internet isn’t good enough.

Not that it isn’t a terrific tool for creation and discovery, not that it isn’t changing the very nature of the art economy.

But internet access is by no means universal, and any discussion of “the new system” that assumes internet access (and a modicum of skill) is a given automatically operates within a privileged space.

I realize that’s not the direction you’re going here, but it’s what came to mind.
