Soapbox! is MOPA’s first crowd-sourced exhibition that uses engaging new technology and interactive processes to allow visitors the opportunity to rate images both online and in the gallery. Visitors will curate Soapbox! from a random selection of 120 images from MOPA’s permanent collection. The group of 120 images covers a broad spectrum of our permanent collection, and contains numerous works that have never been on display at MOPA. The data gathered from visitor ratings will culminate in Soapbox! an exhibition that will truly reflect our visitors’ aesthetic preferences.
The rating process for Soapbox! will launch as part of the exhibition Three Story House on view May 12 through August 5, 2012. MOPA will collect the results from the rating process and take the 40 highest ranked images and a selection of the lowest ranked images to create Soapbox! The Audience Speaks.
