New Creative Era

Artist Corporations: new podcast and early traction


Listen Later

Last week our TED Talk introduced Artist Corporations (A-Corps) — a legal and economic structure for creative work. So far there have been:

* 200k+ views of the TED video

* 600+ artists and creators joining the waitlist

Listen

On a special episode of New Creative Era (embedded above), Josh Citarella grills me on the nuts and bolts:

* How A-Corps would work

* What doesn’t work about the status quo

* What solo practitioners would gain on day one

Play the episode above.

Squads paving the way

While we work towards manifesting Artist Corporations, it’s important to recognize the squads, groups, and artists out there doing the work right now.

Just in our universe there is:

* Concept — An ironic network state collective that released a sold out zine earlier this year.

* Do Not Research — A collective Discord that drops work and publishes material together.

* Elysian Collective — Writers pooling reach and profit around themed anthologies.

* Future Commerce Press — A new media publishing empire releasing work across formats.

* Hard Art — A collective of artists across disciplines led by Brian Eno.

* Network Archives — Dozens of musicians come together to share their experiences releasing work online.

* Other Internet — One of the most influential web-based collectives of the past decade.

* Play — An award-winning food-themed, LGBTQ+ zine and collective.

* Serving the People — A global creative network.

* The Dark Forest Collective — Sixteen internet writers who collectively publish work and share profits together.

* TIAT — An SF-based new media + tech collective.

* Underground Art and Design — An art + tech collective in Brooklyn.

* Wondaland — A creative collective led by Janelle Monae.

* Worst Generation — A hip-hop and digital collective out of South Carolina.

These are all collections of people releasing work under a shared umbrella, using splits and shared economics to distribute the rewards.

This path is available to any creative person right now.

Artist Corporations will let those groups go even farther together.
