Streamline project Pt. 2
The initial outline for the project describes a global data base geared towards large scale projects.
The structure could be implemented on an individual scale that would dovetail with the main project. Artists would establish “think tank” teams with the sole purpose of generating ideas that support and extend the trajectory of the artists overall vision.
This is a nod back towards the role of the apprentice with ideas and concepts being the material that is worked upon.
When content, be it physical or intellectual, is unleashed to move through an exchange of hands, the evolutionary component of creativity becomes accelerated.
Cory Arcangel in a discourse with Dara Birnbaum in Artforum 3/09 states: “It also shows how the internet makes it very hard to keep ahead. The question of who “did” something is moot. It’s just guaranteed that any idea you have has been executed by some kid somewhere.”
