GnuMusiq is a design for web software that will allow artistic quality to naturally "float to the top" and gain wider recognition, and to make it easier for artists to receive income derived from their creative work.
Primary goals:
- to decouple popularity from promotion
- to make the increasingly unworkable copyright legal system irrelevant
The design is discussed in detail here.
Key Elements
- reward audience (users) who take the time to seek out and evaluate new works and new artists
- allow individual users to rate other users by "agreement in taste", making it easier to find works and artists they are the most likely to enjoy
- users can choose to receive notifications of new works, based on artist, topic, other user recommendations, etc.
- users can opt to be patrons of given artists (using a model much like Patreon but more flexible)
- crowdsourced streams which can be downloaded in media-player-sized chunks for offline enjoyment
Future Plans
- I hope to resurrect the jukebox and bring it fully into the digital age.
- The software will initially be designed for audio and video, but could later be expanded to allow for other art forms:
- webcomics
- writing
- fiber patterns
