"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.

Very cool conceptually. I was a bit underwhelmed on the actual execution aspect, but as I read more about it, saw how much work was on the back end by the two artists, and looked at some of the individual pieces... I am more impressed. Even more impressed how tied together everything is, such as how all proceeds of the prints are going to the $100 Laptop per Child project.

Very nice find indeed, professor... Let's see more of these!
