9781138693746: Prototyping Cultures: Art, Science and Politics in Beta

Synopsis

From free software to crowd-sourced entrepreneurial or political initiatives, or open-source projects in science, the status of knowledge in contemporary society is undergoing profound changes. Knowledge is made to remain open, in a permanent 'beta' status: knowledge as an on-going prototype of itself. This collection examines the different ways in which the prototyping of knowledge inflects and shapes new developments in art, science and politics contexts today. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Cultural Economy.
