With the project Art Following the Trend? Artists' Voices. kanonmedia researches the role and positions of the contemporary artists in the society she/he feels belonging to. On the one hand, video interviews are an important module of this project, the other important part is a study focussing especially on the positioning of fine/experimental artists in the context of Creative Industries. The third module consists of a questionnaire on the theme like inserted below.

We happily receive your contributions - please just fill in the questionnaire and send it back to us by replying on this email. We are also thankful if you would like to forward the questionnaire to other artists as we are hoping to be able to evaluate at least 100 questionnaires. The poll is anonymous, the email adress from where you reply to our email is kept in full confidence and in no way is included in the evaluation of the questionnaires. The results of the survey will be part of the study Art Following the Trend? Artists' Voices. and will be published online - visit: http://www.kanonmedia.com/portfolio/voices.htm.
