*/{crowdsourced} Noir / Love Beyond Recognition/ @ Furtherfield Gallery
Saturday 08 September 2012, 12-6pm
*
*Please join us for a drop-in 'clipsourcing' workshop led by Swedish
artist Josefina Posch in collaboration with artist and new media
developer Mike Blackman (UK).*
Using online tools specifically created for the project, participants
will identify who the speakers are, contribute keywords, and rate short
movie clips from the online public domain Film Noir Archive. The
contribution will help shape the final interactive piece that will be
streamed live at Futherfield Gallery in December 2012.

*About the Project*
/*{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.
During Spring and Summer 2012, an interested public will be able to both
participate and contribute to the project's creative process in two
distinct ways: in Sweden as models, whereby a cast will be taken of a
chosen body part (the body parts will later be assembled to full figure
sculptures) and in the UK by taking part in a workshop at Furtherfield
Gallery to help source short clips from the Online Public Domain Film
Noir Archive through our online tool. The final iteration of the project
will be exhibited in Gothenburg, Sweden in December 2012 with live
interactive streams at Furtherfield Gallery, London.
