Cox, Geoff & Joasia Krysa, “The Author as (Digital) Producer”

“On the surface, it seems that much contemporary techno-cultural practice
operates in the spirit of Benjamin’s essay, opposing the simplistic separation of
theory and activism. Moreover, the separation of theorist and activist (and we might add ‘artist’
– although clearly there are dif?culties with the term) makes no sense in an
overall practice of cultural production that takes account of the cultural aspects
of economics and the economic aspects of culture. Clearly, the conditions and
means of production have changed enormously since the 1930s.
