I forgot about this bit from TAZ (by Hakim Bey) that I thought was pretty interesting:

Art in the World of Art” has become a commodity; but deeper than that lies the problem of re-presentation. In the TAZ art as a commodity will simply become impossible; it will instead be a condition of life. Mediation is hard to overcome, but the removal of all barries between artists and “users” of art will tend toward a condition in which (as A.K. Coomaraswamy described it) “the artist is not a special sort of person, but every person is a special sort of artist”
