Making Matters
**A glossary of keywords and concepts for enhancing collaboration in art and design** Collective action often changes the artist's identity and working habits: from individuality and autonomy to collectivity and collaboration, both locally and globally. This has given rise to new kinds of collective art and design practices: artists work together with nonartists, make products for their local environment and take on multiple identities, such as researcher, community activist, computer hacker or business consultant. *Making Matters* looks at art practices across all continents that conform neither to a Western concept of art nor to traditional distinctions between art, design, research and activism--where the boundaries between art, design, research and activism become blurred or are dissolved. **Contributors include**: Lilia Mestre, Elaine W.
