Crowd-sourced Cash

Frame 906 from the video to "Ain't No Grave," by Johnny Cash

I have a long commute and spend some of my time listening to podcasts, including TED Talks. At times I get a little exasperated with the gee whiz technoinfatuation that TED seems to purvey, but for once, a few weeks ago, I listened to digital artist Aaron Koblin talk about his crowd-sourced projects, including The Johnny Cash Project. His talk about "massive data sets" mixing with the personal, entitled Artfully Visualizing our Humanity, is well worth a listen.
