Creative Strike is a thought experiment which attempts to gather specific experiences in networked activism and to carry them forward to face new challenges.

The hypothetical question is as follows: Can the so called creative class or whoever is usually regarded as such, actually go on strike?

What would happen, if we would refuse our creativity and withdraw it temporarily from the art world and the cultural industries rather than lamenting about precarious forms of employment and precisely by that winning ever new and more precarious contracts?

How should one design a strike which -- by rejecting the current divisions of labor and usual work flows -- could express new forms of creativity which are not just occupied with itself and which otherwise would be not noticeable?

It means to reinvent in most creative ways notions of power that are based on the fact of a refusal to operate according to the command, as usual.

It means to think anew traditional concepts of the workers refusal to work and to produce value. How can a strike become creative?

But it also means to critically question the character of a creativity that is expropriated by those who propagate the further or infinite commodification of knowledge, aesthetics and biopolitics. What would happen if the so-called creative class would stop to be creative for a certain amount of time?

Amidst of circumstances that are normally described as "precarious" CREATIVE STRIKE struggles for the right to have our own time and to experience it as collective realities in multiple ways. This is the time to reclaim our time as contemporaneity.
