Invisible Studio: "unstructured collection of people"

[Jay Scott ANDERSON]

"Studio in the Woods doesn’t really exist – it was the original invisible studio. There’s no institution, no one owns it, no organisation funds it, no one audits it, and it is beholden to no one. Invisible Studio is similar. I have no fixed work force, no formal company – just a loose, unstructured collection of people that work together when the conditions are right, and not when they aren’t."

"...but my modus operandi is to ensure Invisible Studio makes no commitment to anyone’s future or anyone’s ongoing livelihood, especially my own. It exists merely to carry out interesting work. If the work is good enough, we find a way to make money and thrive creatively. Nothing else matters."

I guess there has to be a way to sustain oneself, while still being committed to doing interesting work.

Yes, but that doesn't mean it must be done through the horrible industrial-age organizational structure.

There's this growing narrative that work and survival income should be decoupled.

It is one thing to "work to survive" in an untamed world. It is another thing entirely to have to do so in today's everything-is-taken world.

There's a recent TED talk by Karl Widerquist about this: http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/No-One-Has-the-Right-Karl-Wider

Hence it is not immoral or privileged in any sense to propose a workplace decoupled from survival. In fact, corporatism lobbies to destroy people's alternatives for survival and then rushes in offering cozy cocoons of money you can't refuse... As long as you trade in unquestioning obedience and "performance." To build an endless stream of Butler on demand "apps..."

So, in fact, a workplace that assumes a sane society of shared basics is a rather refreshing proposition. Or a workplace whose work is to help birth that society, somehow.

Thanks for sharing this video. 

The idea of [personal] property as a duty on others is the most convincing argument for basic income I have encountered.
