Transactional Arts new article content ... Transactional Arts are art forms, where some sort of value is exchanged as part of the work. Artists not only reflect, but apply economic principles and interactions become transactions. All sorts of values are exchanged and forms of capital are transformed into each other. The concept was first introduced by Daniela Alina Plewe.

Theory The notion of value, the agents as well as the contexts may vary. The transactions can involve not only economic and monetary capital, but also social, cultural, symbolic or other forms of capital. The internet seems to facilitate this kind of art form and we observe that many new media works have actually transactional features.

One may say, transactional arts explore the conversions of the various forms of capital into each other. Buying and selling may become means of self-expression, marketplaces are created as a forms of art, mesh-ups may resemble online businesses, commissioning and division of labor become constituents of the artwork, personal finances as well as the financial markets are artistically reflected.
