Openly Sourced focuses on variance in the interpratation of light, and is one in a series of exhibitions throughout 2013 exploring the use of crowd sourcing within moving image; including Visual Art, Film, Music Videos, and Animations.

Throughout the year we have been researching the use of crowd sourcing within creative works and focusing on those that have a critical engagement with their content. Using our role as curators to engage the public in the creation of a singular, collaborative project that synthesizes this new knowledge, we want to unite our public with an inspiring and universal idea for them to generate a diverse range of original content. We will then use curatorial methods to create a single work from the content submitted. This work will then be exhibited in digital space of the creative displays at Parer Place which enables us to project large scale works that interact and move on the public, billboard like screen.

We want the engagement with the crowd sourcing paradigm to be from a critical and creative standpoint. We are not aiming to create a database of light and sound, but rather a cohesive and dynamic exhibition created out of peoples’ unique expressions of their experiences with light, within the technical guidelines we have set out.
