 The weekend warriors, garage band

-cfr ROTOR: driving force is 1 person, other people come and go
-This depends on the arrangements made within the group and the people most available or talented to execute this task.
-Sharing is superimportant: this group shares the experiences they go through in the real world in the moments of togetherness and creation. This is what unites them. They know that no matter how the outside world changes and evolves, they have this special inner creation space/energy that they count on and share together.
-Independent sources of financing can make sure that they get their projects done; On the other had they are not dependent on financing from the state. It is good to have the artist status for some, but not necessary. As the creation process is something cut up as a puzzle, they make sure that in order to lay down this creation puzzle, they finance their own passion by artist status, their wages from daily jobs, other forms of financing.
-The people:
--live in duality, having separate lives
-- They ressemble a superhero band: `the invisibles`
-- During the week they individually fix the world, but in the weekend they come together
-or connect together . They meet because they need each others superpowers.
-Some go off and help people individually.
--The individuals in the group have to decide to become famous if they want to. This could only be done by very creaive ways of promoting their work, eg viral marketing online, through social networks, using existing networks or getting signed up to an existing label or network and operate from there.
--The individual motivation of the people is more important than the concerns of the outside world: thi group of people has an indestructible bond and no matter the  outside circumstances socially, ecologically or politically, they commit to this project. That`s why documentation and AR are very important: so that space and time are independent of the creation process.
-- They want to make a difference and see  the other side of the world...
 This is a group of people, presumably friends, that come together during the weekend to do things that they don`t have time for during the week. This coming together is a necessity. They can`t choose not to do it, destiny has somehow brought them together.
