Reflections on Click! by James Surowiecki
Much of the critical reception of Click! has focused, understandably, on the artistic quality of the photographs that the crowd liked best, with a number of critics making predictably dismissive comments about the mainstream nature of the favored pictures (and … Continue reading
Crowd-Curated or Crowd-Juried?
After I was recently asked to write a blog posting about Click! from my perspective, I spoke with some of my colleagues—Patrick Amsellem, Associate Curator of Photography, and Judy Kim, Curator of Exhibitions–about the exhibition, and we began to discuss … Continue reading
Click! The Book
Cover: Marcia Bricker Halperin. Dubrow’s Cafeteria, 1979. Softcover: 86 pages, 7 x 7 inches. Details, including a special $3-off coupon from Blurb.com, can be found here. It may seem strange that in the third millennium, we still communicate by pressing … Continue reading
Information Cascade!
Photo by Donna Aceto, who saved the day when my camera battery died. Thanks, Donna. I couldn’t help but laugh last Saturday night. Click! was packed—clearly, there was an information cascade happening on the second floor of the Brooklyn Museum. … Continue reading
Click! Meetup
There’s been overwhelming positive feedback about the idea of a Click! meetup during the upcoming Target First Saturday, so let’s do it! I’ll be giving a Click! gallery talk at 8 p.m., so I’m planning to be around from roughly … Continue reading
happy opening, everyone!
As silly as this seems, it’s just not real until the signs go up and here they are. I will admit, I was more than a little giddy seeing these unwrapped and going into the lobby case and Mary Jane … Continue reading
Click! is not a contest…
…it is a study in crowds. It should come as no surprise that this title made it into one of my blog posts (there are many colleagues of mine chuckling about this right about now). That said, we are releasing … Continue reading
Clicking at Figment 2008 this Saturday, June 28
As with many things for Click!, we’ve made life a little difficult, but for good reason. This Saturday (June 28) we’ve organized a great panel discussion that will be held on Governors Island. Yup, you read that right: Governors Island. … Continue reading
Preparing to Click!
With the opening of Click! rapidly approaching, I have been asked to describe my approach in designing and mounting this particular exhibition. It is important to note that although this exhibition is comprised entirely of photographs, it is not foremost … Continue reading
Defining Face, Change, and Brooklyn in Click!
As a visual sociologist looking at the images as to how people define “face,” “change,” and “brooklyn,” I was very impressed with the quality and array of images submitted for the Click! A Crowd-Curated Exhibition. I can see that these … Continue reading
Condos and Trolley Cars and Sugar Refinaries, Oh My!
As promised, this week we’re writing about the subject matter of the submitted images. If you evaluated all 389 or even a large part of the pool, you know exactly where we are headed with this and may be saying … Continue reading
Gaming Click!??!?
Yikes! This week I wanted to take a moment and look at some rather amusing things (or scary things, depending on your perspective) that happened during the evaluation process. We stayed mum on this during the eval period to avoid … Continue reading
Thank you!
Wowzer! If you were one of the 3344 visitors who cast 410,089 evaluations for Click!, you know what a commitment it really was. I can’t say this enough: Thank You! This was a very dedicated group of people who gave … Continue reading
Click! updates on the way…
I’ll be posting a Click! update later today after we crunch some numbers. We won’t be posting any results until the exhibition opens on June 27, but we will be writing about different aspects of the open call and evaluation … Continue reading
Last chance to Click!
We’ve been watching our little evaluation meter today and we hit 51.3 evaluations a minute this morning! This is a pre-thank you to all of you out there who are active participants in this crowd and, of course, a quick … Continue reading
