Ten Thousand Cents by Aaron Koblin and Takashi Kawashima uses Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (previously on Neatorama), where thousands of individuals working in isolation from one another painted a tiny part of a bill without knowing what the overall project is all about.
Then the duo captured the painting process and put all 10,000 being drawn simultaneously into one video clip.

That is really neat. I love the ones on the outside edges with smiley faces and such. I really wish that you could control the speed on the painting though. Great idea.

If you look at the little white spot under his nose, someone drew a little stick man.

I love how some people really try to match it, but some just really put no effort at all. haha

Those little white spots….are those the guys who didn’t turn in their work?

What I find fascinating is the method the different people employed to form the individual rectangles. Some people seemed to really waste a lot of time in getting to the picture.

Ahh, the collective work of 10,000 unknowing counterfeiters.
Neat idea though.

There seems to have been one guy in particular (or maybe several) who specialised in just doodling whatever he wanted…
