This probably would be much better off in here than in the Gallery. I think so anyway. :-k

 

 

 

Anyways this is what this is about. :D

 

 

 

 

The how and the why.

 

So what's this all about?

 

 

 

How can you create a true snapshot of our global society, and sum up its diversity in one single picture? Simple. Get together one million ordinary people from all around the world, and get them to work on the picture together in the world's largest ever artistic collaboration. A collaboration where everyone is equal, where all outcomes are valid.

 

 

 

Sounds like chaos

 

 

 

Well, yes. Nobody knows what will happen when one million people create a single work of art because nothing like it has ever been tried. Will the result be a crazy patchwork of individual images? Will some larger picture emerge from the chaos? Let's find out!

 

 

 

So how does it work?

 

 

 

We are asking you to draw a small square image using software on our website. You don't need to be an artist or be able to draw - you can make patterns, write words, doodle - what-ever you want. Your image will be one of one million images that will make up the entire picture - The One Million Masterpiece.

 

 

 

You can choose to make your picture fit in with the surrounding pieces, or make it stand out, by using a preview feature that shows your image with the context of your neighbours. You can change your image at any time if you don't feel happy with it, and you can exchange messages with your fellow artists using our community pages.

 

 

 

Why should I get involved?

 

 

 

There are so many reasons!

 

 

 

Firstly, you will be part of something that really matters. This picture is trying to capture a snapshot of the society in which you live, and who is better qualified to make a statement about your world that you?

 

 

 

Secondly, you will be a published artist. Your image will be printed and displayed in some of the most prestigious art galleries in the world. You will also be a world record holder, having taken part in the largest artistic collaboration of all time.

 

 

 

Thirdly, you will be helping to make our world a better place. By making a donation we are hoping to raise over ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã3.5 million / $6.5 million / ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì5 million for global humanitarian and environmental charities..

 

 

 

The current picture (you can zoom in btw)

 

 

 

So far there have been 3405+ contributors and ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã4778.67+ raised.

 

 

 

I dont have a credit card, but I would have donated.

 

 

 

 

 

Theres plenty of space, so I thought it might interest you guys. :

 

PS, get a screeny of your piece.

Awsome idea.

 

 

 

I think i'll submit something there :D .

Me too. It's like that other site, but this way we can help raise some money for charity instead of stopping SomethingAwful's shameless self promotion :D

Do you have to donate to contribute a picture?

Meh, it won't work well. The point, as I'm seeing it anyway, is to express ones culture, and share it with the world. But one could just send in a very pointless and stupid picture, which kind of ruins the point.

1 million people aren't going to submit a serious piece... you should have to write an essay along with your picture explaining what it means..

Do you have to donate to contribute a picture?

 

 

 

Nope.

 

 

 

There's some extremely nice work there, fun to see how they did it with the simple tools.

 

 

 

I'll submit something.

Look for the green J.L 8-)

Lol, mine sucks. Didn't realize we had to use their built in controls :lol: . (and I am not one for drawing on the PC).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Skill?

 

 

 

Nah i'm gunna change it later :lol: .

I did one anyway.

 

 

 

I'm not sure why I went with the Danish theme. But the whole thing is very trite, I'll end up changing it later.

 

 

 

Progess + location

 

 

 

Of course =P. Misterxman's going to show us all up :wink:

Wooo hoo! I got my internet back up again! :XD:

 

(damn stupid dorm connections...)

 

 

 

Well anyway back on topic.

 

 

 

Stop being so cynical... :(

 

 

 

If you're interested, just draw a picture and go on with your merry lives.

 

 

 

 

 

And btw, when you first register, there is an option included that allows you to write about yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

When this piece is finish, it will be unvieled in July(?) 2007.

 

 

 

There is an award to be won when judges determine which description has the most meaning.

 

 

 

Free trip to the UK to see the unveiling!

 

 

 

Im not sure how many people will win tickets though. :wall: But im prety sure its more than one.

Here's my newest one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't feel that much hate over the EU or Euro, nor do I live in Denmark. But I do feel that it is, to a point, cultural diminution. I have a feeling Sweden would've been a better choice.

Did this in my spare time:

 

 

 

 

Nothing special but I thought the result was cool.

 

 

 

Btw, this guys picture is amazing:

Peace, love, turing. A monkey's face and a robot.

Turing Test

 

Intelligence? Peace? Love? Where does it blend? Does intelligence block out love or enable it?

 

 

 

One of my great passions :D
