1.) The collaborative work of "ameteurs" can create something more intellctually appealing and valid than a single artist's efforts. Is there also a route or a point where too much crowdsourcing makes the end product a bland average? Does the problem in that point relate to the amount of people contributing being too much, or rather the flaw in the crowdsourcing project itself not being able to accurately express the many individual contributions?

2.) The second reading talks about the inability for "equal conversations" with a computer because of the nature of the interactions is simply reactionary. The Digital Media world is defined by these interactions however. Is there a bit of art lost in the translation between these reactions of crowdsourcing projects? Does the fact that some forms of crowdsourcing projects require minimal reactionary involvement detract from their overall intellectual and artistic weight as a Digital Media Project?
