Wisdom of the Crowd is a poetic documentary exploring the tension between individual perception and collective intelligence in an increasingly interconnected world. Framed through a social experiment on the streets of Oslo, where over 100 people are asked to guess the number of marbles in a jar, the film investigates how seemingly random, independent judgments can converge toward a surprising statistical accuracy.

Set against observational footage of urban complexity, cranes, workers, transport systems, the narrative reflects on how social reasoning operates similarly to natural systems, such as starling murmurations, where individuals respond only to their nearest neighbors, creating emergent order without central coordination.

Voice-over reflections connect the experiment to broader questions of cognition, scale, and artificial intelligence, suggesting that large language models might be a mirror image of our own collective reasoning, amplified into a digital form.

Filmed, directed and edited by a single creator, the documentary embraces a minimalist aesthetic, slow rhythms, and a low, meditative tone. It blurs the line between essay film and social research, offering an understated but layered meditation on how meaning emerges when many minds meet.
