dear Spectres,<br>
<br>
some years ago (most people here might have forgotten anyway) I've<br>
lamented my bad experience in contributing to the Piksel media art<br>
festival in Bergen. At that time I thought of proposing a guideline of<br>
sorts and hoped in the birth of some kind of unionism for all those of<br>
us who are content producers and end up being milked and thrown away by<br>
aggregators of sorts. I'm sure many of you out there have to go through<br>
such experiences.<br>
<br>
Today I've found this <a href="http://www.promoterdb.com" target="_blank">http://www.promoterdb.com</a><br>
which might be of some interest.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure if this will work as expected and I'm not affiliated with<br>
it in any way. However it might be interesting to experiment, filling in<br>
some feedback about the good experiences at least.<br>
<br>
>From a unionist perspective it is somehow sad that the overall decay of<br>
labour based relationships within content producers and art institutions<br>
have lead to resort to such disgregating and passive methods.<br>
But then what else?<br>
<br>
Are on-line rating systems the place-holder for labour unions in a<br>
neo-lib world?<br>
<br>
ciao<br>
