• Crowd as Artists: This Wednesday the curator Andrea Grover will unveil an art show she put together entitled,"Phantom Captain: Art and Crowdsourcing." The exhibition is hosted at the New York City gallery Apex Art. Inspired in part by my Wired article, Grover has gathered an eclectic group of art makers that includes some of my favorite creative minds working today, from Davy Rothbart of Found Magazine (which has been tapping the crowd for mesmerizing content since 2001) to the performance artist/director/writer Miranda July (who will show works from the collaborative Web site she operates with Harrell Fletcher, LearningtoLoveYouMore.com). On November 15th at 6:30 PM I'll give a talk on crowdsourcing at the gallery. If you're in New York at that time, I'd love to see you.

About Me
Crowdsourcing: A Definition
- I like to use two definitions for crowdsourcing:
The White Paper Version: Crowdsourcing is the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call.
The Soundbyte Version: The application of Open Source principles to fields outside of software.
The Rise of Crowdsourcing
- Read the original article about crowdsourcing, published in the June, 2006 issue of Wired Magazine.

I can't believe how much of this I just wasn't aware of. Thank you for bringing more information to this topic for me. I'm truly grateful and really impressed.
