Abstract (partly obscure)

The art world is a large and partly obscure system consisting of institutions, galleries, collectors, curators, auctions, art fairs, biennales, writers, publishers, exhibitions and artists. Each individual participant becomes a node in a network of relations – the art world is a system like any other networked based system. The amount of connections to each individual node in the network determines its performance, the more connection the more traffic and the more success. It’s partly a zero sum game, what benefits one node starves another in a network with limited resources. The data of the network is public, from artist CV’s to exhibition invitations, press releases and public auction results, it can all be collected, categorized and classified
