Questionnaire about Pay a Day, general stuff and Social Piece (here the answers of Tor Kristian Liseth)
Pay A Day:
Does your commission fee represents your idea, what an artist should earn per day?
No not at all, as an artist myself it more represents my current economical situation
How did you chose 'your' day?
It was more random, but I thought it would be good for you to work on the piece before christmas
Does the kind of day - week or weekend - made a difference for your fee? Should it make a difference?
It didn’t but it should. As with all occupations, working in weekends, if its not voluntarily, should be paid extra.
Would you find it weird to not get a free ticket to the performance of the piece, you payed for?
No not at all.
Did you ever pay for an artwork, beside paying for entrance tickets? Did you ever commission a work of art?
Yes, I have commissioned several live video artworks for different events
Do you expect me to work on this project/piece? How would you specify your commission, if I asked you to?
I wouldn’t interfere with the your work, but expect you to work on this piece.
Did you check my personal blog/website before you decided paying me a day of work? And did the work you saw there have an influence on your decision?
Yes i checked it out, but it didn’t have any influence. I consider the concept very interesting, and my contribution was more based on that.
Do you expect me to spent the entire day working? Should my working time be related to the fee? Would you suggest a logical formula for this?
No I think you should adjust your work according to the pay.
Do you have a message coming with your contribution? Or a special question? Which one?

A poet trying to live as long as he can only from the fee he got for his newly published book.
In general:
Would you pay only for good art?
If I buy finished art, yes (good in my eyes). If I commissioned something, I would try to ensure the quality before hand and would except it whatever the outcome would be.
Who should pay for art? (society, artists themselves, other artists, sponsors, the actual audience, ...)
All of the mentioned
Who should be payed for art? (everybody, who makes art? everybody, who calls himself an artists? the state, so they can pay the artists? amateurs? studied artists? only the good ones? ...)
Depends on where the money comes from.
everybody, who makes art as a profession?
Yes, but not necessarily from the state.
everybody, who calls himself an artists and wants to live from it?
Yes, but there should be a difference adjusted according to how many years he/she has studied and worked and field of work.
the state, so they can pay the artists?
no
What should an artist earn per day?
Depends on how many years he/she has studied and worked and field of work. Maybe 1500 nok per 8h working day, as the lowest fee/tariff.
What should be the relation between the fee and the work of art? Should their be an influence from one or the other side?
Preferably none, but as it is today it’s difficult not to be influenced by the money if you’re hungry for food.
Social Piece:
Do you like the title?
yes
Do you mind, if the piece doesn't include music?
No
Would you mind being actively integrated in the performance:
- as a member of the audience?
To watch it, yes.
- as a sponsor?
no
Will you be there at the performance (10 March 2010 in Bergen)?
I hope so
Should Social Piece be related to Pay A Day? Should it reflect the sponsorship, the single fees and the raised questions and their answers?
Could be interesting if it reflected the sponsorships – work of art strictly based on how many hours you could work with the money you get.
Do you have a wish/concern for Social Piece?
Good Luck. Don’t quit your day job.
