How does this explore "the circumstances we live in"? I'm not knocking the project, but that is a bold, unsubstantiated claim.
- insteadof 14y agoIt's boilerplate art installation talk. The more profound sounding the higher the chances of getting someone to exhibit the work.

- btucker 14y agoI could be wrong, but I think the sentence is really meant to convey: The project explores the circumstances we live in: a new and uncharted combination of digital labor markets, "crowdsourcing," "virtual economies," and digital reproduction. (a colon instead of the first comma.)
