'Exquisite Corpse'
Belfast - Zagreb Collaboration
Digital Image original: 3488 x 2616 (4.4Mb)
My Themes: technology, communication, interaction
This collaboration consisted of 8 students from Belfast, Northern Ireland, and 10 students from Zagreb, Croatia. Both groups remained in their own country and communicated via social networking technology. A group was set up to which both parties could view and post information under the facilitation of Zagreb professor of Fine Arts, Nicole Hewitt.
Students collaborated via the social networking technology to produce a digital exquisite corpse piece of work.
Exquisite Corpse is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule or by being allowed to see the last part of the previous person’s post.
The posts can exist as video, text, images or audio.
