Italian philosopher Antonio Negri has declared that "Every kind of change belongs to a form of community art," inverting the convention that community art can be an integral component of social change and extending the rubric of art to propose a commons of all those striving to effect change in social, economic, technological and ecological arenas. So how do these endeavors influence and act upon one another?
