Capitalisms got a mad crush on collaboration--witness all the new
business models based on collaboration studies and expensive
corporate groupware, or the billions spent on YouTube -- but
beneath all the flirtation, capitalism needs to stay in control. As
long as the process of collaboration is controlled by external
interests, the relationship will always be one of forced
cooperation. And though its way more challenging (for the
participants and in terms of resistance), free cooperation will
always be a lot sexier than forced cooperation.
Inspired by the collaborative models of the open-source software
movement, Rosa Luxemburg Award-winning German writer Christoph
Spehr, Howard Rheingold, Brian Holmes and the editors critique both
the received capitalist and socialist methods of social
integration, and elaborate a practical vision for a third
alternative, one that promises to surmount the problems of
inequality on the one hand and the lack of individual freedoms on
the other. Part utopian intervention, part radical polemic and
activist manual, "The Art of Free Cooperation" also includes a DVD
with additional texts, highlights from an international Free
Cooperation conference, and a feature-length film collage, narrated
by Tony Conrad, illustrating the principles of Free Cooperation
through the visual
language of science fiction.
