Disrupting Business explores some of the interconnections between art, 
activism and the business concept of disruptive innovation. With a 
backdrop of the crisis in financial capitalism and austerity cuts in the 
cultural sphere, the idea is to focus on potential art strategies in 
relation to a broken economy. In a perverse way, we ask whether this 
presents new opportunities for cultural producers to achieve more 
autonomy over their production process. If it is indeed possible, or 
desirable, what alternative business models emerge? This book is 
concerned broadly with business as material for reinvention, including 
critical writing and examples of art/activist projects.
