Aristotle understood that money is a form of social exchange. Joseph Beuys called this process social sculpture and proclaimed that all people are creative in the way that they live their lives. Art is an intensified form of social exchange, more specific and at times poetic. But intensity is not limited to artists and should not be separated from daily activities. Creativity is our Commons, Art is our Commons. Limiting creativity is limiting social exchange. It is a form of oppression; the slavery of the 99% imposed by the 1%.
This was a synthesis of my performance for Greg opening at the forum, transcribed below.
