Detta arbete syftar till att ge svar på några av de frågor man som artist kan ha inför en skivlansering. Arbetet är av samtidsskildrande art med en historisk tillbakablick till varför vi idag står där vi står när det handlar om skivindustri, lansering, ekonomisk vinst och exponering för musik. Stor vikt har lagts vid att hitta fakta kring artistens ekonomiska förutsättningar i en tid där de traditionella musikmedierna på marknaden har fått ge vika till förmån för nya. I mitt arbete har jag även intervjuat artister som idag står inför samma val som jag själv angående lansering och analyserat intervjuerna i förhållande till aktuella artiklar i ämnet. Av min undersökning kan jag bland annat dra slutsatserna att CD‐skivan fortfarande har ett värde på marknaden, att man som artist bör göra något uppseendeväckande vid en lansering för att sticka ut ur mängden samt att det kan vara av vikt att ha en klar bild av sin tilltänkta målgrupp för att kunna skapa ett personligt band till sin publik.

Computer systems with all their potential could be employed as powerful tools to assist the artist during the creative process of picture making. The complex process of picture making is tentative, indeterminate, explorative and unpredictable. Perceptual uncertainty of patterns on the canvas may have an important role during such a process. For the artist, the perception of a new or alternative structure in an already structured image is plausible, his subsequent interaction with the media being consistent with this revised view of the image. Therefore, it is essential for the computer system to be able to structure and restructure the image in terms of the interpretations perceived by the artist.

Self-knowledge serves as the basis for further insight into other themes and ideas. The investigation proceeds, then, from the search for self to the somewhat higher plane of the role of the artist in society; it is completed with an analysis of the motivations which lead the artist into an attainment of complete artistic fulfillment.

I wrote an essay called "Buyers and Workers" where I questioned topics of the painting as an art object or a commodity, and I discussed the artist's function in society. With my examination show I examined if the artist could be put in a standard working model of commercial market of our contemporary, and what the result and the experience of this structured way of working might be. Questions like "What is the product or commodity in the project?" was raised through the process. / [I examensarbetet ingår utställningen "Full Time Work":] Throughout the 7 days my show was open I painted lines on the walls. I followed a working schedule, I had made beforehand, similar to the opening hours of commercial market, thereby questioning artistic labor and art production within a working structure of what we know from society. The schedule dictated that I worked on the walls 45 minuts per hour, and that I by each hour changed colors. The total amount of sessions I worked per day was 8, thereby also using 8 different colors. Each day I would use the same colors in the same hour, starting with the bright yellow and finishing with the dark blue. I worked in a total of 6 hours per day, having a total of 2 hours spare time per day. When the 7 days were up, I had succeeded in painting nearly one and a half walls, creating a beautiful pattern.
