From CrowdFunding to CrowdThinking
Kickstarter helps in collecting donations, but what if we wanted to fully take advantage of the possibilities of this new medium in all its potential?
We had the idea to create a crowdsourced story based on elements provided by the backers. It’s a revolutionary method, made possible only by using a platform like Kickstarter.
The goal is to use this new medium to create a new message, true to the world in which we live and a genuine child of our time, by exploring the communication opportunities of our era.
This is the result: www.kickstarter.com
We called it ” MUSE – the Most Unpredictable Story Ever” and we will write a novel using Kickstarter not just for the usual material resources – translation, proofreading and print – but for collecting from our backers something even more precious: ideas! Using their suggestions we will create a collective story, that would not otherwise be possible. We are asking not only for financial support, but also to send us ideas in the form of hashtags that we will collect and organize semantically for the progress of the plot, giving life to an innovative book, based on CrowdThinking!
Becoming a precedent
We believe the time is ripe for CrowdThinking especially with help from Kickstarter, a new inventive medium itself. Our greatest ambition is to create a new genre — collaborative, reproducible, and open to everybody. Ultimately, we would love to see more videogames, movies, comics, and other products each sharing the same collaborative principle.
