Reflections on Crowdwourcing

After viewing multiple crowdsourcing examples in class I have gained a new respect for the creativity that goes into such projects.  It becomes kind of fascinating when a piece of art comes out of a kind of collective consciousness.  What is the most appealing about it is the imperfection involved in the art itself.  Nobody can control what any other person is going to do so there is absolutely no way of knowing what the final product is going to take the shape of.

Neubauer Response

The thing that I noticed initially with this piece was how the images onscreen were dancing with the music.  The faster and more upbeat the music was the more erratic and colorful the images became with the various songs being played.  The images often transitioned from a bright to just a black background with dots and lines.  One thing I found myself wondering while viewing this piece were what some of the images were.  Some things that came to mind were blood, DNA strands, hair, etc.  This got me wondering what the filmmaker was thinking about when he created this particular film.
