Social experiments, fine art, and r/place

r/place

Over the weekend, Reddit put up their annual place collaboration area. They allow one to place a single tile every five minutes on a limited size canvas. There are hundred of thousands of people doing the same. Thus, there is not enough time to create much by oneself, and one runs the risk of one’s tile being overwritten by others. It ends up being a fascinating event of collaboration.

My humble addition is the attempt to help in the creation and defense of “Nightwatch” by Rembrandt that was organized in the comments section of r/place on Reddit.
