The Rise of Portfolio Careers

Random Quote

The Unseen

Though artists generally aren't aware of it, that end work is a by-product of a greater desire. We aren't creating to produce or sell material products. The act of creation is an attempt to enter a mysterious realm. A longing to transcend. What we create allows us to share glimpses of an inner land-scape, one that is beyond our understanding. Art is our portal to the unseen world.

p.31

While there are many causes of the development of portfolio careers, the main driver is technological advancement: social networks, remote work, online market-places, and cloud computing, among other innovations.
