Our Collective Wisdom series highlights and builds on the MIT Open Documentary Lab’s Collective Wisdom: Co-Creating Media within Communities, across Disciplines and with Algorithms field study.
Launched in June 2019, Collective Wisdom aims to advance our understanding of creative efforts outside the limits of singular authorship. This Immerse series is edited by Jessica Clark and Katerina Cizek in collaboration with Samuel Mendez and Carrie McLaren.
Collective Wisdom is an Immerse series created in collaboration with Co-Creation Studio at MIT Open Documentary Lab. Immerse’s series features excerpts from MIT Open Documentary Lab’s larger field study — Collective Wisdom: Co-Creating Media within Communities, across Disciplines and with Algorithms — as well as bonus interviews and exclusive content.
The field study was authored by Katerina Cizek and William Uricchio, with co-authors Juanita Anderson, Maria Aqui Carter, Detroit Narrative Agency, Thomas Allen Harris, Maori Holmes, Richard Lachmann, Louis Massiah, Cara Mertes, Sara Rafsky, Michèle Stephenson, Amelia Winger-Bearskin, and Sarah Wolozin. The study was funded by Just Films of Ford Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, with contributions from Ryerson University and MIT Comparative Media Studies/Writing.
