Crowdsourcing: PART TWO (dum dum dummm)

I designed a webpage called "This is My Face". The idea behind this was to see how much of person's personality could be portrayed through one shot--and that behind every face is a story.

Site: http://www.postsecret.com/

Questions of Manovich Reading

2. How does the interactive work of new digital media relate to the hands on work of studio art in terms of being interactive and unique?
