An online project to draw a 100 dollar note. Each person draws one little square. Click on a square to see the person's attempt.

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 total labor cost to create the bill, the artwork being created, and the reproductions available for purchase are all $100. The work is presented as a video piece with all 10,000 parts being drawn simultaneously. The project explores the circumstances we live in, a new and uncharted combination of digital labor markets, "crowdsourcing," "virtual economies," and digital reproduction.

also interesting is the mechanical turk service they used www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome which I imagine could be used to break captcha tests on forms (though I guess amazon would have thought of that)

the project explores money making initiative

oh ok i get it now

thats pretty cool

I thought it was illegal to print money / or make fake copy / or draw on it.... I wonder if that serial number on that $100 note is real.

i thought this might have been a new more streetwise US rapper.

Pretty cool concept. Some of the drawings were inherently better than others.

i still dont get it.

ono, the TURK!, one step closer to skynet!

oh and being the capitalist i am, i signed up for the mturk think, pretty lol
Listening to <30second wav files of people placing Advertisment ads on an answering machine and turning it into the typed ad @ 25c a pop lol.

pretty cool

which I imagine could be used to break captcha tests on forms

people do this, but they wouldn't use mturk for obvious reasons. they have their own sites where 1000's of captcha's are shown to indians paid 1c a piece to fill them out.

There is a stick man just under his nose and to the right, the white looking square with darker ones around it.

yeah theres a few funny ones, if you click on 'read about the project' scroll down to see a few and then theres a link to see a lot more good ones
