[MCN-L] Public Authoring examples

[Real, Will]

Kate et al.,
 
Although not in the realm of technology, we are currently displaying a work that evolves over time as visitors participate in the work. It's called I Wish Your Wish by Rivane Neuenschwander. You can read more about it at http://blog.cmoa.org/CI08/2008/05/i-wish-your-wish.php. Also scroll down the page to see comments people have made about this piece on our web site. There are some relevant photos on our flickr photostream, http://www.flickr.com/photos/ci08lifeonmars, in the Pre-opening and behind-the-scenes collection.

Hi Perian

What an amazing list.   THANKYOU so much!  I have already come across Nina's blog + the Click project but some of the other examples are very interesting.

I think you are right - it is probably the tip of the iceberg!!

You seem to be very much across this stuff - would you mind if I shoot you some questions off-list as I continue my research?

Thanks again
Kate
