Thaemlitz T. Soulnessless Canto V. Meditation on Wage Labor and the Death of the Album

2008. – 54 p.Our reckless extension of goodwill [via pro bono projects and performances] is ultimately an act of self-sabotage. The impassioned artist's stance, art for art's sake, obfuscates a labor issue. The iconic struggling artist who volunteers her work is a scab, but does not know it. If demanding payment for our labor means culture industries would collapse, then so be it. Perhaps we would finally begin conceiving of cultural production in terms larger than industry. Or more likely, we might find that we cannot exist without those industries which fail to support us, making us already pathetically irrelevant. Either way, I shan't be mourning.Score.
