Week 11: Internet Art Inspiration

I chose this inspiration because the title seemed very interesting to me. The link to the livestream of the project doesn’t work anymore, but it didn’t stop me from reading about the project. From what I understand, the project was conducted by Robert Adrian and his team, and by connecting servers with other teams around the globe, they were able to “receive” art from all over the world. This was what the project was based around, to have art from all over the world sent to one place. Although the actual project took way longer than 24 hours, the run-time was 24 hours and with the 24 hours, they received art styles from thousands of other artists, having meters of paper printing each minute.

I thought this was inspiring because it wasn’t a very significant project, especially nowadays it wouldn’t be hard to do, but the idea of showing the entire world in 24 hours through art was pretty inspiring, because the artists would have to be brave and proud enough of their product to show to everyone, and that is inspiring.
