Ha, DO IT... yourself?

What do you suppose will happen if the “Do it yourself” paradigm seeps into every layer of cultural production?”

Will Capitalism destroy it or absorb the paradigm to forge a stronger system? If this “Do it yourself” attitude does become a dominant ideology could it be the death of the artist? How does it change the value (both monetary and cultural) of art?

I don’t know if it is possible for this particular attitude to penetrate into every layer of cultural production. There will always be those that prefer the handmade or homemade, however, the majority will prefer the convenience of products supplied for them. If it were possible for this attitude to become the dominate paradigm I believe that it would have the potential to seriously challenge the current social system in which we live. Those that can provide for themselves have no need for the institutions that provide the purpose for the masses. I feel as though art will always hold some value, both cultural and monetarily in all systems. It is our intrinsic nature to be creative and express our own personalities through our actions and façade.
