Crowdsourced Art

Where did this concept and name wiki-art come from? In Hawaii wiki means Vicki which also could stand for victory or victim. We are all victorious in freedom of experience and expression, yet we are all victims if the art is done for free and others prosper. So who owns this communal art and how is it used? Where does the art end up, in whose hands?  What can be done with this new and novel art form? Yet is it really such a new form? Communal art in the form of quilting bees, cabin and barn raisings have historically pulled communities together. Are we really just finding a way to meet and create together to preserve society as a people proposition. As we hide safely away in the safety of our cubicles typing on keyboards that hold us all hostage, is this not just a new form of socialization? A better name might be Washoe-art, as Washoe means people!
