Andrea Grover

In 2010, she received an Andy Warhol Foundation Curatorial Fellowship, at the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry and Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University, to study artists working in science, technology and engineering.

[1][10] In 1998, Grover founded Aurora Picture Show, a non-profit organization that screens non-commercial films, in the church building.

[13] In an interview with Leah DeVun for Wired Magazine, Grover explains that her interest in crowdsourcing formed out of her "fondness" for "early video collectives like Top Value Television, Videofreex, and Raindance.

In another interview, Grover claims that crowdsourcing is growing rapidly, because "we're experiencing a moment in time where technology is allowing for people to cooperate in large numbers on all sorts of things."

In the interview for Wired, Grover explained that crowdsourcing eliminates a financial barrier that prohibits most people from participating in art, as "Internet real estate is essentially free."
