As I’ve gone deeper into a spectrum of art projects and paid labour over the past few years, focussing on finding, transforming and distributing surplus materials (food, debris, time, knowledge) I have realised how important collaboration is to my worldsphere and perception of useful labour. The introduction of even a singular complementary or conflicting voice can profoundly transform the trajectory of a thought, inflect a micro-fraction of quantum physics, reconfigure a sentiment beyond our narrow interpretations.
nice man, when I first started collaborating at Uni I found that I was way too controlling of the outcome and not giving space to the process of the collaboration. An entire education of individualist learning and isolation based achievment had definitely rubbed off on me. It's taken a long time to change the learned behaviour of 'I want to complete this' and not giving the inputs from others a chance. We need to embedd collboration into our language, our homes and our early education sytems. thanks for the thought trigger.
Spot on. You can train people but too managers lack care, empathy or the drive to make adjustments. Large corporates have the means to drive change, but without it coming from the top it relies too heavily on individual managers being prepared to swim against the tide of perceived office wisdom :(
