Last weekend, a fascinating act in the history of humanity played out on Reddit.
For April Fool's Day, Reddit launched a little experiment. It gave its users, who are all anonymous, a blank canvas called Place.
The rules were simple. Each user could choose one pixel from 16 colors to place anywhere on the canvas. They could place as many pixels of as many colors as they wanted, but they had to wait a few minutes between placing each one.
Over the following 72 hours, what emerged was nothing short of miraculous. A collaborative artwork that shocked even its inventors.
From a single blank canvas, a couple simple rules and no plan, came this:

You made me read the article. Then I read something that made perfect sense:
Of course it would devolve into a battle of who could put a dick on to what while some people were just trying to create art :)
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

The phallic fantasy would be considered art by some. Especially if not harming others' work. But it could be considered destruction by others. The Joker (Jack Nicholson) on Batman had a twisted view of art.
