The supports of culture

  • With the phrase “economy is life” I understood that the relationships between economy and power can be very diverse. It is an economic exchange, a balance of exchange that must preserve planet Earth and all the creatures that inhabit it.

Technologies are effective mechanisms for historically influencing the economy and power relations. They can restructure the balances. Literature, living arts, music, audio-visual, video games -- there are many fields of creation, and creators have worked different ways to make their work sustainable. Thus, economic activities have been generated around their work.

Digitalization is about 50 years old and at first the potential influence on business models was not detected. At first we only understood the benefits of digital transformation in content quality. However, creative devices found another benefit, the possibility that digitization would allow a large number of contents. With this idea, he began to question the model “a support, a creative work, a person”. The change was not there. The first computer network, Arpanet, was launched in 69 and allowed digital content sharing. We got to know the network we know today in the '90s, and it enabled us to connect everybody. By the year 2000, the idea of the cloud began to develop, creating the possibility of connecting your computer to the centralized computers that offer this service rather than as a deposit. Changes in network shape and control. With this, the platforms began to develop, with the possibility of offering a lot of content in a single place for many people. And the model of “a support, all the creations, the world” has been opened.

The truth is that, despite its convenience for consumption, the power relations that this model has generated leave little space for the economic model that seeks to sustain the life of its creators. There we are all trapped, and the creators have no choice but to be there. It is still a small model of life, only about twenty years. We have to see many changes.

Snow

Snow hides the earth and the traces of beings looking for pleasure. Under the beauty of snow there is time, years, generations, ephemerides, quotations; but when time goes by there are words that have not been said before or after. Snow reminds us that we could slip and fall. As... [+]

Basque Country with three speeds

When we woke up, culturally and administratively, the landscape showed a three-speed disaster.

As far as culture is concerned, I had the opportunity – once again – to confirm this last November 14 at the Mint library in Ortzaize. There we met because Eñaut Etxamendi... [+]


Ended with Palestine (and with the world)

The world has also done so, because it is a symbol, because in history more genocides have already been done and will be done (bad luck, hear, it has touched you to be born there), but Palestine has special characteristics:

Büxarik ez, mila esker

They appeared, as usual, through the hut, parked in the center of the passage, in herbs and encharcations so as not to dirty the mills, and went through the road, tracing, to the porch, with a large dish in the hand. As usual, the bûche was ready. In French bûche it can be a... [+]

How much is important?

As the fall ends, the crows appear on Basque Day, in the Basque era or in the Durango Fair. Aware of the results of socio-linguistic surveys on the use of Euskera, the "politically corrective" exercise has no longer drawn anyone's attention. Without Ttattarri, with cool and smiling... [+]

The dreams of the long struggle, I really want you.

Killings, arms escalation and consequences

On 26 December, during an air strike, the Israeli Army killed five Palestinian journalists trying to reach the city. They killed 130 Palestinian journalists. This news has reminded me of a couple of things, the first, the persecution of true journalists in any part of the world,... [+]

All subtitles

The girl who appears in the center of photography, which can hardly be considered historical, is writing a list of adjectives: I, you, he, we, you, they. Looking down, I couldn't see what his gaze looked like.

Insensitive to the work of the photographer, you, slowly and... [+]


Technology
When we are unable to

When you work with older people or people with physical and neural diversity, you realize that the idea of competition in our society limits us a lot as a species. That is, our system puts you in value by doing things specifically, and what it doesn't do is incapable of the... [+]

I wanted to write

I wanted to write for the Christmas lights and claim to become an annual tradition in this time of street lighting, a welcoming, joyful and joyful public space from the point of view of the class. But, of course, also warm public spaces where some young people can be warming up... [+]

Hayedos

He forgives the oak trees, oak trees, oaks, herons, strawberries, dressings, chestnuts, birch, gorostidias, chamomiles, pine trees and all the societies of the trees, but today the hayedo has a date on the occasion of the celebrations of the winter border.
