/r/place was a recurring collaborative project and social experiment in which participants shared a communal canvas. Each user was granted, at timed internals, the placement of a single pixel.
The Void was a community in the experiment in /r/place with the mission to fill the entire canvas with black pixels.
The Void itself (and the void itself, a mostly community random entity) experienced a kind of “vandalism” in the form of “confetti.” Confetti are random dots of color in the desired uniformed black pixels of the Void. A specialized part of the Void community called “Anti-Confetti Drones” were deployed to clear the confetti. “The ACD developed a small sub-culture of exceptionalism, believing that while their job was more mundane, it was essential to the Void’s survival”
The Void spread by expansive tendrils which “infected” other cohesive arts, the members of this group called the “Tendril Expansion Crew.”
Thought
What if your art piece claims all blank pieces of paper, without consent? Any act of drawing is vandalism on your work. What if your art piece is the spaces between the art in the gallery?
