Snakes on a plane?
There's a plane. There's a snake. Not only is the snake *not* on the plane, it's actually bigger than the plane.
It's a like a Wikipedia of an artwork: collaboratively creating new realities on an ongoing basis.

the drawings look consistently like crap.
Yes.
I wonder how much 'graffiti' gets voted out. I mean, the inverse of these pictures is probably as or more intersting. Probably not anymore artisitcially stimulating though :)

These things always end up on fark, with predictable results.

Anybody know of a group sketching tool of this sort but that can password locked to the non-masses? I have a small collaborative art thing that this sort of software would be perfect for, but no idea where I could find it for a small (but only connected via the internet) group.

The drawings are horrid because you get to draw ONE line. You "lift your pencil off the paper" and it moves into the voting round in which you determine if selected other squiggles represent the subject.
Was this play-tested AT ALL?

Damn, I thought it meant writing lines, to make a comedy sketch. That might have been quite cool. Perhaps funny.
As it is, this experiment isn't exactly producing amazing results. Not yet anyway - perhaps, with time, we will learn how to draw together.

No kidding Ekacat; it seems like the worst-applied use of democracy; to ask everyone's opinion about every little thing.
