Here's the powerpoint of the presentation Nuts&Bold gave to the Museum Computer Network 2013 (#MCN2013). The first part is all about our inspirations, the second one is the presentation of the process used for Variations, an entirely crowdsourced online exhibit, and the final part is about our current research. Have fun and if you'd like more info connect yourself to our Facebook page www.facebook.com/nutsandbold.ca or linkedIn or twitter (@nutsbold) or contact us at info@nutsandbold.ca. We will be happy to talk to you some more about our process, the possibilities, etc. Have fun and let us know what you thinker of the exhibit ! http://commissairesglaneurs.wix.com/variations nutsandbold.ca
