A patchwork of 1 million paintings

omm.gif That is the official record breaking aim of The One Million Masterpiece (OMM) although its purpose is to raise money for a number of charities, one of which you can choose to give £3.50 ($6.50 minimum donation) in return for your patch of digital canvas and a small piece of Internet history.

Paul Fisher is the creative force behind the project and Eamon Ramsey did the programming needlework for the whole thing, including a flash paint tool that allows visitors to watch a ‘replay’ of any painting. The only time I’ve seen this function is on the Queeky site that I mentioned on the French part of this blog, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see it being developed. It offers an almost mesmerizing vision of a graphic image as it is being created. Just take a look at the picture created by Angeli Arndt who’s work has so far received the most comments. Press play and you will see a truly artistic performance.

Bravo to Paul Fisher, Eamon Ramesy, the rest of the team & all those participating in ‘theomm_viewer.gif worlds largest ever artistic collaboration’.

The OMM is forming a giant ‘nebula’ 26 feet – 8 meters – wide.
