CROWDSOURCING AND DISRUPTION
A panel discussion on the shifting economics of Design and Communication
6:30PM Wednesday March 10, 2010
Memorial Hall, Pratt Institute Brooklyn Campus
200 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn
Pratt's Undergraduate Communications Design department will host a panel
discussion on the emergence of crowdsourcing models in the design and
communication industries. Crowdsourcing is a new and often hard to define
term that refers to using information technology to parcel work out to a
large group. Crowdsourcing models have already completely changed the stock
photography business and appear to be spreading to other sectors of the
creative economy.
Our guest speakers will help the audience uncover what crowdsourcing
is, what the implications are for designers and what an appropriate
response might be for those working in affected industries.
