Abstract
Joel Slayton, artist, professor, and researcher discusses collaboration as a medium for art. He places emphasis in seeing collaboration as a new medium for artists, while taking into account how the world has seen communication, creativity, and labor undergo changes in the new age of technology. Slayton sees this change as a catalyst for how artists can both work and create together. There is an emphasis in both collaboration’s opposition to traditional hierarchies and repressive methods as well as its results: cultural sensibilities, models, and an open forum for diverse opinions that contribute social, economic, and political results. While corporations, businesses, and bureaucratic administrations have typically used conceptual and traditional models of collaboration, creatives are now using these same models. In return, said creatives are holding discourses, conversations, and critical analyses regarding the breakage from these traditional hierarchies and constraining methods.
