Art, the Internet and the Rise of Symbiosis

Great piece from the NYT on the decline of mystery and the rise of symbiosis for artists, who find there's a living of sorts to be made by engaging with fans online and allowing the community that emerges to choose the direction their musical careers take -- even to the point of how much to charge for their creations. But it leaves some doubts:
“I vacillate so much on this,” Tad Kubler told me one evening in March. “I’m like, I want to keep some privacy, some sense of mystery. But I also want to have this intimacy with our fans. And I’m not sure you can have both.”
