The Brooklyn Museum of Art is at it again. An online activity now allows amateur viewers the opportunity to become participants and, to some extent, dictators of how art in a gallery show is to be chosen. This activity, known as crowd-curation, allows individuals looking at images online to select those paintings they find to be most interesting and aesthetically pleasing, and rate them against others--resulting in decisions made about what art is and is not to be included in a gallery show.
In this instance, the internet is once again aiding in society's gradual progression toward becoming a more participatory culture when it comes to art.
