Congrenw – Looking Outwards 01

Out of Line – Crowdsourced interactive music video by Moniker and Studio Puckey

This project was a result of the efforts of around 10 people through the Moniker and Studio Puckey. The project took around a year to accomplish, and it appears that they organized it through usage of specialized groups and organizations for UI, UX and development. From what I can tell, the project was created using custom software/scripts as it’s specified that the creators wrote their own library to achieve their goal. From the description, the project creators were inspired anonymous internet comment threads as well as the complexities that arise when interacting with online audiences. I believe the project’s point was to highlight the new flexible contractor relationships where workers are seen as commodities.

I thought it was very inspirational how this project brought so many people on the internet together to accomplish tasks. I took a class on crowdsourcing as well last semester so it was also very interesting seeing its use in actual application!
