10000kAaron Koblin is creating art for the information age.  The image above, a portion of the piece Ten Thousand Cents, is really ten thousand tiny images drawn by different people and stitched together.  Each person was shown a tiny slice of a hundred dollar bill, and asked to recreate what they saw, without knowing what the end result would be.  Recruited via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk distributed labour tool, a project of this magnitude would have been almost impossible without the internet.  These “mass collaborations” are a frequent medium for Koblin; check out the Sheep Market and Bicyclce Built for Two Thousand.
