Re: <nettime> crowd-funding on nettime

[aha@aharonic.net]

good morning!

I think that Chris & Keith are making very correct points. In my mind,  
perhaps wrongly, the crowd funding calls/announcements, are a blunt  
form of project announcements, gallery openings, or indeed paper &  
participation calls. While not all such events are funded, many which  
are, will either receive none - or far less - if people did not  
come/use the service/event. Therefore by talking about, an endeavour  
and/or announcing, is it not a way to ensure a certain "success"  
measured by numbers that will have direct effects on funding?

Just a thought.

Have a good day!
