Response to questions from 11/9
Thanks for your great thoughts Erin! I wanted to show you how the artists have responded to their artworks being on Wikipedia. Many don't know or care, which is fine. But we discovered that one artist, Steve Wooldridge, found the Wikipedia articles on his works (he has two in the collection: Spiritkeeper and Zephyr) and updated the information in an artists database here.(And Jenny believes that the artist or someone close to him did this). I thought that was pretty cool. Brose Partington, who created Entangled is tickled by the fact that you can now "like" his artwork in Facebook; we use that as an example frequently. And John Torreano was very helpful in my research of Mega-Gem, and knows that his biographical article made it into the Did You Know column. He thanked me by mailing me historical marketing paraphanalia from when Mega-Gem was presented on Navy Pier. This was a thrill for me, personally.

As for the 40 versus 20+ artworks in the collection and nav box: We needed to create a collection of 40 artworks so everyone would have 2, but afterward decided that some of the artworks on the peripheral areas (such as Indiana Avenue and Riley Hospital) should not technically be considered part of the IUPUI Public Art Collection.

 * Hey, thanks for repsonding. It's good to know that this work will not just be seen by our tiny group of classmates but that there is actually some bigger influence!Emtrix (talk) 04:43, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
