>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> This thesis presents an application-oriented theoretical
>>>>>>>>>>> framework for generalised and specific collaborative contexts with a special
>>>>>>>>>>> focus on Internet-based mass collaboration. The proposed framework is
>>>>>>>>>>> informed by the author’s many years of collaborative arts practice and the
>>>>>>>>>>> design, building and moderation of a number of online collaborative
>>>>>>>>>>> environments across a wide range of contexts and applications. The thesis
>>>>>>>>>>> provides transdisciplinary architecture for describing the underlying
>>>>>>>>>>> mechanisms that have enabled the emergence of mass collaboration and other
>>>>>>>>>>> activities associated with ‘Web 2.0′ by incorporating a collaboratively
>>>>>>>>>>> developed definition and general framework for collaboration and collective
>>>>>>>>>>> activity, as well as theories of swarm intelligence, stigmergy, and
>>>>>>>>>>> distributed cognition.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> Accompanying this creative arts thesis is a DVD-Rom which

>>>>>>>>>>> environments designed, built and implemented in accordance with the
>>>>>>>>>>> frameworks for digital stigmergy and mass collaboration developed in the
>>>>>>>>>>> written work. The creative works in conjunction with the written thesis help
>>>>>>>>>>> to explore and more rigorously define the collaborative process in general,
>>>>>>>>>>> while testing the theory that stigmergy is an inherent component of
>>>>>>>>>>> collaborative processes which incorporate collective material production.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> Supported by a range of contemporary examples of Internet
>>>>>>>>>>> activity, including the accompanying creative works, it is found that
>>>>>>>>>>> stigmergy is a deeply rooted mechanism inherent in not only traditional
>>>>>>>>>>> material collaborative processes, but a range of emerging online practices
>>>>>>>>>>> which may be broadly categorised as digital stigmergic cooperation and
>>>>>>>>>>> collaboration. This latter class enables the extreme scaling seen in mass
>>>>>>>>>>> collaborative projects such as Wikipedia.org, open source software projects
>>>>>>>>>>> and the massive, multiplayer environment, Second Life. This scaling is
>>>>>>>>>>> achieved through a range of attributes which are examined, such as the
>>>>>>>>>>> provision of a localised site of individualistic engagement which reduces
>>>>>>>>>>> demands placed upon participants by the social negotiation of contributions
>>>>>>>>>>> while increasing capacity for direct and immediate creative participation
>>>>>>>>>>> via digital workspaces. Also examined are a range of cultural, economic and
>>>>>>>>>>> sociopolitical impacts which emerge as a direct result of mass
>>>>>>>>>>> collaboration’s highly distributed, non-market based, peer-production
>>>>>>>>>>> processes, all of which are shown to have important implications for the
>>>>>>>>>>> further transformation of our contemporary information and media landscape.
