Collectivity is fundamentally a mode of production, one is never inactive when they are being collective. It’s almost impossible. The very act of plurality is a modus for exchange, which is probably why art, technology and politics lean so heavily on this mutated form of group dynamics. The term “collective” is generally seen as a group of people who share a common interest or who are motivated to a achieve a common goal. Combining skills to create decentralized or “majority-rules” decision making practices is typical of a collective, however the word and frame of collectives is generally a word open for interpretation and can be applied to horizontal and hierarchy collective structures. Hence why I used the word mutated, to move us away from the idea that a collective is always a good practice.
