"What Artists Want": Elicitation of Artist Requirements to Feed the Design on a New Collaboration Platform for Creative Work

Aiming at designing a decentralized platform to support grassroot initiatives for self-organized creative work, the present work solicited feedback from a group of visual artists regarding their work processes and concerns. The paper presents the qualitative methodology followed for collecting requirements from the target audience of the envisioned software solution. The data gathered from the focus group is analyzed and we conclude with a set of important requirements that the future platform needs to fulfill.
