Click! is a photography exhibition that invites the general public to be the jurors. This is an interesting concept and experiment. Check it out and be part of the experiment.
This is really fascinating. I just might participate in the evaluations! That would be really fun.
But .. the media of the work is just digitally submitted photography? At first I wondered how this was different from, say, Flickr or DeviantArt, sites that engender community around creative works and encourage evaluation by community. Then again, these are only websites in virtual spaces, and this is a brick-and-mortar museum with a mission behind its exhibition ... considering that, maybe this is a bold step. :)
Cool idea. With the ever increasing interactivity web users are used to, I can see how this would appeal to many people, especially young people that have grown up with the internet. That would increase more art appreciation, which is good since some public schools are more and more putting art & music studies on the backburner in favor of sports and traditional studies, like science.
