#2This is the best thing I have seen over a long time. Tremendously awesome.
Re: When Pixels Collide
#3Yeah, less collaborative art, and more a competition between bots.
In the beginning (and for some of the smaller subreddits), it was people building art. But for the most recognizable pieces, there were simply hundreds of bots enforcing a provided image.

Bots created by people...
... I assume.

I'm sure you have some proof to back your claims.

When every user is limited to updating a single pixel every few minutes, how else could any group of mere mortals create and maintain such a large picture of the Mona Lisa? It's not visually easy to see vandalism on such a complex construct, so expecting that mere people were able to almost instantly identify and fix graffiti is folly.
And that's just one highly complex piece which evaded defacement.

Which is interesting in itself. You seem to think that the bot usage took away from the overall importance of the effort. I'm not sure I agree.

#9I dont think there was a single piece of original art in there. It was art by committee

Well it's actually pretty simple.
They created grids and coordinate numbers that told the groups what each and every pixel should be colored.
Then all anyone that wanted to "help" had to do was just look at the grid, and pick a pixel that was wrong to fix.
Like you said, each user had plenty of time in between pixel placements to look at the map and choose their next "fix".
