Come and help Swedish artist Josefina Posch and her UK collaborator and new media artist Mike Blackman shape the interactive, live stream project to be shown at Furtherfield Gallery in December. Join our drop-in “clipsourcing” workshop and use our computer application specifically created for the project to rate short movie clips from a Film Noir archive of stylish Hollywood crime dramas from the 1940-50s.
{crowdsourced} Noir / Love Beyond Recognition is a process-based artwork encompassing a sculptural installation and an interactive stream across the World Wide Web. The origin of both parts of the project is based upon the notion of ‘crowdsourcing’. The principle being that more heads are better than one. By canvassing a large crowd of people for ideas, skills, or participation, the quality of content and idea generation will be superior. In this instance, crowdsourcing will be applied through the use of clipsourcing tools which have been developed to aid in project-related tasks that can only be achieved through human interaction/intervention. This way, the crowd will help the artist achieve these tasks whilst adding a democratic element to the final outcome of the project.
