Online: A Crowded Apocalypse by IOCOSE.

Conspiracy theories are, by their definition, neither ultimately 
refutable or acceptable. In order to hold true, they rely on the 
acceptance that the full evidence is not reachable. They are based on a 
shared belief: the idea that each one of us is an unaware piece in a 
mysterious master plan. Crowdsourcing, instead, makes this more 
transparent. Each user contributes to the creation of something which is 
bigger than the sum of each singular production. The final plan remains 
unknown, but it is actively produced by a large crowd. IOCOSE will 
exploit crowdsourcing as a tool for the creation of a shared belief. The 
“crowd” will assemble its own conspiracy which will involve them again, 
at the end, as human beings. http://acrowdedapocalypse.com/
