Who are the future audiences for contemporary art?
The power and participation of consumers has erupted through social networking, but how much consumer influence is good for the arts? Should audiences dictate content? Are the traditional distinctions between artist and audience disappearing? Should we be striving for bigger and bigger audiences or fewer truly engaged participants? Who will be the audiences of the future?
