Discussion Questions

• From the reading, "Crowdsourcing:  The art of a crowd", I ask this question:  One quote from the article states, "Like any tool, it's as smart as the person using it." If we are allowing anyone--non-artists--to participate in making art, what if that person "messes it up?" Is it similar to getting bad information on Wikipedia? 

• From the reading, "Rethinking Curating", I ask this question:  is it a lofty idea to think that in order for art to be truly participatory and inclusionary, the art has to react back to the participant? For each brush stroke, should the painting paint you too?
