Description
The Death of the Artist: How Creators Are Struggling to Survive in the Age of Billionaires and Big Tech In the digital age, two narratives about earning a living as an artist have emerged. One comes from Silicon Valley, where the internet is touted as a liberating force, allowing anyone to share their creative work with the world. The other comes from artists themselves, who warn that the abundance of digital platforms has created a false sense of equality, masking the harsh realities of a struggling art world. William Deresiewicz, a leading critic of the arts, sets out to explore the truth behind these narratives. Through interviews with artists of all kinds, he reveals that the digital economy is indeed transforming the way art is created, shared, and valued. But what does this mean for the future of art and the artists who make it? Deresiewicz's insightful exploration sheds light on the epochal transformation taking place in the digital age, one that challenges our fundamental ideas about the nature of art and the role of the artist in society.
