‘The Sharing Economy: A Post-Mortem’, a panel discussion hosted by Bloomberg

The two videos below are the documentation from a panel, “The Sharing Economy: A Port-Mortem”, organised by How to work together at Bloomberg in the context of the Think Tank on Wednesday 18 March 2015, 6–8pm.

“The Sharing Economy: A Post-Mortem” aimed to understand and question the utopia promised by the ‘sharing economy’ – the system of peer-to-peer services that leverages technology to enable the distribution or reuse of goods and services – and its relevance to the art world.

Examining the contemporary economic landscape for corporations, non profit organisations, governments and community ventures, the panel explored where the ‘sharing economy’ may lead us in the future; the political repercussions of open data ideals; and how the principles of collaborative consumption have been and may be deployed in the art economy.
