“But the core argument that everyone is straining for distinction in a late capitalist global economy jammed with commodities and information, and that culture and creativity are what affords the producer the possibility of distinction, is surely both correct and relevant to the cultural and creative sector. It explains the universal prevalence of shock tactics in both art and advertising; but it also offers insights into the changing role of the creative artist and the artist’s sensibility in contemporary society, suggesting one that, far from being marginalized, is in fact more highly valued because of its capacity to individuate and discriminate.” – Adrian Ellis on Richard Lanham’s The Economics of Attention: Style and Substance in the Age of Information
