<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-10/13/rachel-botsman-wired-11"><strong><em>http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-10/13/rachel-botsman-wired-11</em></strong></a></p>
<p>A talk with a classmate about his group&#8217;s business model, led me to a site called <strong><a href="http://www.vayable.com/experiences?locale=en">Vayable.com</a></strong>, which in turn led me to this thought-provoking video by <strong><a href="http://www.rachelbotsman.com/">Rachel Botsman</a></strong>, author of <em>What&#8217;s Mine is Yours.</em></p>
<p>Botsman believes that we are entering the 4th phase of the Internet. This phase is characterized by swapping, sharing, and collaborating at a scale that&#8217;s never been possible before. These, of course, are not new behaviors. We are mimicking online exchanges between people that used to happen face-to-face. Technology is taking us back to older market behaviors: sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping redefined through technology and peer communities. She called this phenomenon &#8216;<strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_consumption">collaborative consumption</a></strong>.&#8217;</p>
<p>Examples of companies using this collaborative consumption model include <strong><a href="http://neighborgoods.net/">Neighborgoods</a></strong>, a site that helps neighbors share tools, and <strong><a href="http://www.taskrabbit.com/">Task Rabbit</a></strong> who connects people who need an errand done with people who can do it. (The most requested service at the time of Botsmans video? Assembling IKEA furniture!) When I added social travel sites like <strong><a href="http://www.airbnb.com/">Airbnb</a></strong> and social lending sites like the aforementioned Kickstarter, to my list of examples, I began to see how hot this trend really is right now.</p>
<p>This trend almost seems like a solution to the dilemma at the heart of Rich Gold&#8217;s <em>The Plentitude</em>, namely: how can one be an ethical designer of stuff in a world chocking on its stuff. I imagine that if collaborative consumption really expanded, it might help us reduce the size of &#8216;the plentitude&#8217; without really lowering expected standards of living. And if we manufactured products knowing they will be used collaboratively, how might we design them differently? Additionally, if sharing becomes a megatrend, what role can UX designers (or UX <em>strategists</em>) play in creating experiences (mediated by technology) that foster trust?</p>

<blockquote><p><strong>The League of Automatic Music Composers</strong> was a band/collective of electronic music experimentalists active in the San Francisco Bay Area between 1977 and 1983. Widely regarded as the first musicians to incorporate the newly available microcomputers of the day into live musical performance, the League created networks of interacting computers and other electronic circuits with an eye to eliciting surprising and new &#8220;musical artificial intelligences.&#8221; We approached the computer network as one large, interactive musical instrument made up of independently programmed automatic music machines, producing a music that was noisy, difficult, often unpredictable, and occasionally beautiful.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ho finito pochi giorni fa di leggere <em><strong><a href="http://www.ibs.it/code/9788861591370/gold-rich/leggi-della-pienezza-creare.html">Le leggi della Pienezza</a></strong> Creare, innovare, produrre cose.</em> di Rich Gold, Bruno Mondadori, 2007.</p>
<p>Nel complesso è un libro che mi sento assoultamente di consigliare; surfa su un sacco di temi interessanti: Rich Gold, l&#8217;autore, parte dalla sua esperienza autobiografica di artista scienziato designer e ingegnere per toccare temi filosofici molto pregnanti sulla società dei consumi. Di fondo tenta di dare una giustificazione e un senso all&#8217;opera di qualcuno che partecipa alla creazione di nuova roba. Roba è un termine usato molto, perlomeno così ce lo ha restituito il traduttore: e da l&#8217;idea di una ricerca di linguaggio molto facile e accessibile. Bella l&#8217;edizione. Insomma lo consiglio.</p>
<p>Voglio mettere qui sotto alcuni passaggi che ho trovato molto interessanti nella classificazione del concetto di arte e artista: Rich Gold parla dei cappelli che ha indossato nella sua vita; a proposito dell&#8217;arte parla di sottocappelli.</p>
<p>&#8220;Quelli che praticano le belle arti (&#8230;) indossano un basco. Questi artisti lavorano a partire da se stessi, dalle proprie visioni. Cercano di esprimere il loro modo di essere e le loro idee, e l&#8217;arte che ne vien fuori è una rappresentazione. (&#8230;) L&#8217;economia fondametale del basco delle belle arti funziona così: quelli che lo indossano si guadagnano da vivere (ammesso che guadagnino) producendo uno scarso numero di oggetti che vendono per rsorbitanti somme di denaro, solitamente alle aziende, al governo oppure ai ricchi. In un passato no troppo remoto, anche alla Chiesa. (&#8230;) Stranamente però, chi indossa il basco si considera il più delle volte un outsider, addirittura in antitesi con la potente élite. <!--more--></p>
<p>(&#8230;)Il secondo cappello è quello dell&#8217;arte popolare, rappresentata da un cappellino da baseball. Gli artisti che lo indossano sono più concentrati sulle sensazioni del pubblico che sulla visione interiore. (&#8230;) L&#8217;economia di questo tipo di arte sta nel produrre opere altamente replicabili &#8211; film, canzoni pop, televisione, videogiochi, vestiti e molti libri. Le opere stesse sono spesso molto costose da produrre, ma l&#8217;obiettivo è venderne un numero enorme a un prezzo relativamente piccolo. Gli artisti non sono sostenuti dalle aziende, anche perché ne fanno parte essi stessi e se ne servono per la produzione, la pubblicità e la distribuzione.</p>
<p>(&#8230;) Per ultimo ci sono quegli artisti che possiamo chiamare artisti folk, rappresentati dal cappello di paglia di uno strimpellatore di banjo.  (&#8230;) La mia definizione è questa: gli artisti col cappello di paglia fanno arte per se stessi e per gli amici, non si cimentano nella produzione di arte perché durerà in eterno o perché piacerà a un milione di persone, ma perché è divertente, piacevole e dà soddisfazione, è un modo per interagire e rafforzare i rapporti con amici e parenti. (&#8230;) L&#8217;economia del cappello di paglia funziona così: se produrla ha un costo, raramente si tartta di soldi, al massimo vi è uno scambio di cifre molto piccole tra produttore e consumatore. Come dicono gli antropologi, è una cultura-dono, che è andata in gran parte perduta.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been reading <a href="http://jmcgready.com/the-plenitude"><em>The Plenitude</em></a> by Rich Gold,<br />
and in it he talks about the subcategories of art as being<br />
three hats that an artist could wear.</p>
<p>While reading it, I realized the same could be said for<br />
both blogging in general and bloggers in particular.</p>
<p>The first hat is the beret,<br />
which he associates with the fine arts.</p>
<p>The beret bloggers tend to be,<br />
but are not limited to, A-list bloggers.</p>
<p>Actually, any blogger with a sufficiently<br />
supertypical existence can become a beret blogger.</p>
<p>The content of a beret blog is suffficiently compelling<br />
in and of itself aside from any reference to others,<br />
be it born of a person&#8217;s life (<a href="http://scobleizer.com/">Scobleizer</a>, <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/">Instapundit</a>)<br />
or of a project (Post Secret, et al).</p>
<p>Many people like to think they are beret bloggers,<br />
but, alas, are not&#8230;.</p>
<p>The second hat is the baseball cap, which he associates with popular art.</p>
<p>The baseball cap bloggers tend to be<br />
the bloggers who use blogging as a means to<br />
achieve something else<br />
(i.e. sell books, run ads, do affiliate marketing, promote a business, etc).</p>
<p>The content of a baseball cap blog springs,<br />
not from the blogger&#8217;s life, but from what the blogger percieves<br />
to be a topic, product or service that has market demand<br />
and can be <em>monetized</em>.</p>
<p>Examples range from made-for-AdSense article niche sites<br />
to industry blogs serving a well defined niche with content<br />
optimized for search engines and ad placement optimized for revenue.</p>
<p>Many blogs incorporate various baseball cap techniques,<br />
but aren&#8217;t truly baseball cap blogs.</p>
<p>The third hat is the straw hat, which he uses to represent folk art.</p>
<p>The straw hat blogger is the most common of all the bloggers mentioned here.</p>
<p>The straw hat bloggers blog mostly for themselves and friends.</p>
<p>Among the types of straw hat blogs are:<br />
noodle blogs (what I had for lunch), online diaries,<br />
cat blogs (look &#8211; more pictures of my cat),<br />
and most (but not all) Xanga, Livejournal, Facebook and MySpace pages.</p>
