A photographer's view of the Egyptian Revolution

"The concept of being self-organized and leaderless made the revolution a success. That was the aspect that fascinated me most. These anonymous people in the photographs—they are the ones who are so important. I may never see them again. I may never know who they were. But they’re the ones who made the revolution happen. I could have picked virtually anyone out of the square and each one of them would have been incredibly and equally as important."

I think the Egyptian revolution was a great example of ICA.  It was nonhierarchical, organized mostly online, chaotic, and when it was done, it was time to move on to the next phase.
