Good fuckin' lords. People are stupid.

How is it that the world has continuously regressed like this the past 10 years or so?

"Ten Thousand Cents" is a digital artwork that creates a representation of a $100 bill. Using a custom drawing tool, thousands of individuals working in isolation from one another painted a tiny part of the bill without knowledge of the overall task. Workers were paid one cent each via Amazon's Mechanical Turk distributed labor tool. The work is presented as a video piece with all 10,000 parts being drawn simultaneously.

Cool concept and execution.
