Thing#18 Discovering Web2.0 Tools

Thanks to the Web2.0 awards list I was able to find a site called the one million master piece. (www.millionmasterpiece.com) This site acts like one giant image mashup, where one million different pieces of art (all created on their site) will be pieced together to make an image that contains one million pieces of art. The idea behind the site is that it will produce the world's first truly global artwork in which everyone will have contributed to a piece of it.
As an artist I love the idea of making a piece of art that is composed of other's peoples are to create a unique work of art. Unlike deviantart, an art site where individuals post their own work, one million master piece instead uses everyone's individual work to create an entirely new work. This allows people to post their art as means to make something greater rather than showing your art to receive praise or a blidn following of fans, something deviantart is notorious for. Yopur art can instead be used to make a piece of art where everyone is equally responsible for its creation no matter what their artistic skill or passion may be. And on a final note One Million Masterpiece plans to publish and unveil its million-part work of art in London upon the works completion.
