I recently came across a quote that has real relevance to the work we are doing here.  It comes from Paul Werner, the former Guggenheim curator, turned critic. 

‘By the mid-nineties museum directors had figured out along with the rest of us that the worldwide system of production had radically changed with the advent of the PC, then the Internet, but no one had begun to figure out how the relations of production were changing.  It wasn’t that more information was available (which everybody knew) but that people would now process information in new way which in turn would modify their needs and how they met them’
