Bmoreart blog’s Cara Ober interviews Steven H Silberg (Lecturer, Visual Arts) about ‘Mining the Crowd: Artifacts of Crowdfunding,’ A New Exhibition to Explore the Process of Funding with Kickstarter.

Silberg and his research partners have launched a Kickstarter project to fund an exhibition, which will be made up entirely of rewards offered by other crowdfunding artists to their campaign contributors. Their research aims to inquire about the sustainability of a dependence upon the social network for an artists continuing practice in the visual and performing arts. By making their first hand experience public, they hope to offer transparency, informing those who may chose to engage in crowdfunding while highlighting those who have been successful with it.
