A few months back Terry Eaton got me interested in An Exquisite Corpse. It is a website that allows groups of four people to collaborate and create an image. The idea came from a game developed by the artists and writers associated with Andre Breton’s surrealist group in the 1930’s. The first player draws an image on paper. The next player has to pick up where the first left off, but they are only given a thin slice of the first image to work from. The rest of the image is hidden. After four people have contributed, the image is assembled. The modern game is essentially the same, except most players draw with Photoshop.
Here are two that I worked with the username “Mark Celsor”:
- The Lights/Flying Monkey Shoes/Magnetic Come Hither/On Desmond’s Delta (4th piece)
- Even Matches/Ahoy-hoy/Fhorge/Serpent World (3rd piece)
Here’s one that Christine did with the username “Christine”:
- Sprout/Bamboo Reach/Apocaliptic/Gonzo Butt (2nd piece)
Randy and Terry did a bunch with the usernames “newt” and “buttonmonkey”:
