Ten Thousand Cents

I'm not sure why, but I'm totally enthralled by Amazon's Mechanical Turk.  I just can't get enough information about it.  I'm particularly fascinated by Aaron Koblin's artistic take on the the Turk (see previous post - The Sheep Market).  His latest project is Ten Thousand Cents, created in collaboration with Takashi Kawashima.  Thousands of Mechanical Turk workers were asked to paint a small section of a $100 bill using a custom drawing tool. They were paid one cent for their work. None of the workers were aware of the final image they were contributing to.  You can click on any image in the bill to watch how it was drawn.  Very cool.
