seven on seven
A few months ago, I traveled to New York City to participate in Rhizome's Seven On Seven which paired artists and technologists and challenged them to develop something new. The New York Times wrote about the event.
Seven on Seven: Monica Narula & Joshua Schachter
The data was gathered using the Mechanical Turk. I didn't really have enough time to talk about data, so here is actual dataset.
I've posted presentation as well.

As a geek, it struck me how little I related to the artist and her layers of large, vague words and phrases, and how immediately I related to the crispness of the geek (e.g., prices).
Any comments about that relationship you can publish?

I think for many artists that a lot of the processes are about them and the way they think about the process and so on and so forth. So that gets expressed in the communication.
The actual process of working together was quite electric and there's a terrible urge to tell everyone about how you came to arrive at this awesome place where you've figured out something amazing. The problem is that it doesn't translate. Try watching the other presentations - they spend more time trying to communicate it.
To be fair to Monica - she had flown straight in from India to explain this. And the idea for Guilt Markets was hers; I just ran with it.
