Wired reacently interviewed Aaron Koblin on his experiment in social art. Though Wired, calls it data art, I am not a sure. When I hear data art, I think of stuff like We Feel Fine.

But back to the experiment, Aaron used Amazon’s new service Mechanical Turk to hire people to draw sheep, at 2 cents a pop. Ten thousand people contributed, and each of their sheep was recorded. Check out the video.

This obviously has buckets of potential for randomization in art. I can’t wait to see what other people come up with. If I could come up with the cash, I might even conceive a project.
