Collective Art

Looking at the Bluesfear Worm, I found this other site, The Smaller Picture, which experiments with collective internet users attempting to create an artwork. There are a few images which actually achieve their goals, others are just random pixelated images.

It's really cool how you can contribute to this and how you could also see the animation of the image in progress. These are few of the recognisable ones:






Following up on the links given by the site, the SwarmSketch and the Collective Type Project.

The Collective Type Project is almost similar with the exercise we did in the first week, this project combines 255 images of the same letter into one image.

  1. Collective ID is very contemporary notion. ( wefeelfine.org is a good example. Another universe.daylife.com ). You have really got to the heart of what it is to be online and to construct an identity that is constantly and collectively altering everytime someone adds to this vast digital network... 7.5/10
