Stolen: My Thunder

You know when you have a great idea and you feel like your sails are filled by a gale force wind, blowing you almost uncontrollably towards your destination? That feeling when you know you're on to something special? That you've tapped into the collective unconsciousness and it is speaking through you, the only thing is it is also speaking through everyone else and someone else happened to hear the voice first?

Yeah, well, I had been working on a plan for a group curated show using a viral means of distribution and a group curation process and found out this week that the Brooklyn Museum has a show on display as I write, titled Click, that uses some of the very same ideas of group curation. The show isn't exactly the same as the one I was planning, but somehow after reading about it and listening to the panel discussion, I'm just not that interested in going through with my project anymore.

Enough complaining, because the project is pretty interesting. Just check it out for yourself on the University of Michigan Visual Resource Collection Blog.
