Too Many Chiefs Piss In The Broth.

When it comes to collaborative art projects, the internet is kind of a mixed bag. Now with TheBroth, that bag gets a whole lot mixier.
Seemed too chaotic at first, but after sticking around some order presents itself. The gallery has interesting results.

At least it's not all cocks 'n' swastikas, like that scratchpad site always ended up being, but still, frustrating to play with.

Fun. I always enjoy playing with these things for 10 minutes or so.
The most curious aspect for me is the eerie nature of people who don't know each other suddenly, spontaneously deciding to work together - and when it happens it's often in a short burst of purpose, even if it's only to spell out 'FUCK'.
I'm also intriugued by the anti-individual nature in these things - no-one seems to mind people playing about, but if someone tries to take up a little space, or write their name, the collective becomes determined to quash their attempts.
But why do none of these things give you the option to watch previous creations emerge, at 5/10/x times the speed? The emergence of patterns is the most interesting thing about these, but when simply playing live, there is often little going down.
