Critical Tactics Lab | "Oh Crap! What Now?!"
Ariel "Speedwagon" Federow started the OH CRAP! guide in bed in a fit of post-election despair. Two weeks later, the document—a guide to preparing for a Trump presidency—had countless editors, and had been featured on CNN, the Guardian, Business Insider, and other national and international media outlets. As of this writing, the guide has over 215,000 pageviews.
Come hear more about what it is to be an artist who accidentally goes viral, the joys of Google Doc tech support, and what theater can teach you about crowdsourcing.
