Thesis Project: Synaptic Crowd: Vox Pop Experiments

Documentation

Joshua McVeigh-Schultz's Synaptic Crowd: Vox Pop Experiments is an interactive performance in which online participants collaboratively select interview questions to be relayed via mobile phone. Willing interviewees can call to hear questions selected by a live audience while their response is broadcast online. By interjecting distributed audiences into the real-time flow of interview interactions, Synaptic Crowd destabilizes the performative context of the traditional "on the street" interview and points to new possibilities for distributed audiences to intervene in public space.
