COINs 2010 Conference Community: A Visual Portrait
Images can be a powerful tool to communicate a community's identity and culture for social network attraction.
Photographer Alice Merkel captures COINs 2010 Conference community connectivity, conversations, and capacity building in this I-Open Collection on Flickr.
The collection portrays community creativity and collaboration present in five areas of the Swarm Creativity Framework - a transfer of I-Open's Innovation Framework, a heuristic model of investment in Open Source Economic Development.
Curating images focused on a community's core assets generates higher levels of authentic communications, builds audience trust, and strengthens transparency for network attraction.
COINs-collaborative innovation networks Conferences are hosted in partnership by the Hyperwerk Institute of Postindustrial Design, Basel, Switzerland; Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), Savannah, Georgia; Wayne State University School of Engineering, Detroit, Michigan; and Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Collective Intelligence, Boston, Massachusetts.
