The Social Artwork

This is an experiment.
It's not about your image.
It's about art.
Join the Open Source Network for artistic ideas!

Dear Artist,

what if all ideas you ever had would have been realized?
and what if using other people's ideas wouldn't be stealing?
Here you can
post your ideas,
browse ideas.
discuss, develop and create together.

'The Social Artwork' is an online experiment:
Users can propose projects and collaboratively work on them (or leave it open for others to work on it). In this way a performance piece for instance could be shown all over the world in various versions within a very short amount of time.

It's not about your image, it's about art.
