From a posting on PRSPCT-L on top reasons we need Prospect Research compiled by Heather Willis.
My original question:
Does anyone know of a top ten list of reasons why we need prospect
research, why its helpful, why you can't live without it, something to that

All year long there has been an ongoing campaign to reduce tuition fees in universities and colleges all over my province. Booths to sign petitions against rising fees winked in and out of existence around the main student areas— places where thousands of students pass through every day.

Constructed Suspense: From Objective Bondage to Hybrid Freedom
Ten artists from nine countries are featured from May 3 to June 3, 2007 in the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (MOCCA) exhibition, The Constructed Image: Photographic Culture. This exhibit displayed approximately fifteen individual pieces of art created between 2003 and 2007. The type of medium used in the exhibit was photography, differing in size and formality (some were quite small and others such as the "Smoking Gun", consumed an entire room).
Due to the advent of technology, it is inevitable that we question the credibility of the images we see and consider 'digital art'. The idea of The Constructed Image: Photographic Culture, is that images are constructed based on artists' visions with the use of technological practices.
