isn't economic development just a means to an end? When I had little money, I created art with found objects and materials. With money, I can buy high-end materials.And money help with travel, education, getting work to and fro, communucations, marketing.So to say the economic growth = creative growth is not accurate. Economic growth can assist with creative growth , and perhaps some great new artwork accessible --known to a community, culture, or receptive audience.

As a consumer, I love the idea of having a hand in the design of something I will use. As a designer, I am curious to see how my ideas will be adapted by others. I have seen / heard and used this model with audio / music for years -- first sampling and then interactive modules on the web for remixing by the listeners, also release of individual tracks that make up a piece expecting for mixing using consumer-audio software. To take this aural art mix concept and move it to visual arts is very exciting to me. One question though, how can be make sure that it isn't just the "haves" that get to experience this?

when I move from computer to more traditional media, I (sometimes) wish I had a control-Z key, to undo what I just did, or the ability to save different versions of the same project.
