Stephen Wright: Toward a Lexicon of Usership (2013)

“Toward a Lexicon of Usership serves as a toolkit for naming a new form of both artistic and political subjectivity – that of usership. Divided into words that Wright feels ‘should be retired’ such as expert culture, ownership and the disinterested spectator alongside ‘emergent concepts’ like 1:1 scale, loopholes and museum 3.0, Wright introduces ‘modes of usership’ that are becoming ever more prevalent and pertinent today: hacking, gaming and the final term of the lexicon – usership, to name just three.”
