MODERATORS
it's a live, collaborative art project. On reddit, you'd have hundreds/thousands of people all contributing at once.
you have a blank page, you click on page to place coloured pixel. Wait 5 mins to place another.
One pixel every 5 minutes? That sounds extremely tedious.
With so many people participating, it was beautiful
So many bots*
It is, but it's the type of thing you pop in every now and then and place a pixel, and look at all the updated art that has occurred in the meantime. Everyone's using the same canvas.
That’s why you have a bot that coordinates with a group of users do it for you, if you want to make something intelligible
It is limited, yes, the pixel you place is one amongst many - you are just one part of the much larger project. That's the fun part
