A Crowd-Curated Exhibition - www.brooklynmuseum.org
Click! is a photography exhibition that invites Brooklyn Museum’s visitors, the online community, and the general public to participate in the exhibition process. Taking its inspiration from the critically acclaimed book The Wisdom of Crowds, in which New Yorker business and financial columnist James Surowiecki asserts that a diverse crowd is often wiser at making decisions than expert individuals, Click! explores whether Surowiecki’s premise can be applied to the visual arts—is a diverse crowd just as “wise” at evaluating art as the trained experts?

Hi! This video always brings a smile to my face, so I hope it does the same for you. YouTube suggested "wisdom" as an appropriate tag for this video. I completely agree. Yes, the subtitles are in Swedish. Why? I don't know. This thing has been sitting on my hard drive since the Clinton Administration, I can't remember where I got it from. Some other frequent comments/questions about this video, and about the song and its origins, are answered in the Wikipedia entry -- check it out: Mahna_mahna Piero Umiliani
"The question is: what is Mahna Mahna?" "The Question is: Who cares?"
