¡Corre! ("Run!") is a relay race on the net. Each participant runs for 60 seconds in a infinite space and collaborates in the drawing of a complex path, generated by the addition of each individual race. At the end, the user can leave a message in form of a drawing and or a text, the drawing is left in the ground, building this way a collaborative landscape.

Project description

¡Corre! ("Run!") is a relay race on the net. Each participant runs for 60 seconds in a infinite space and collaborates in the drawing of a complex path, generated by the addition of each individual race. At the end, the user can leave a message in form of a drawing and or a text, the drawing is left in the ground, building this way a collaborative landscape.

The next participant starts the path at the end of the previous one, connecting in this way an endless and continous path.

The addition of paths generates an image where you can see each individual fragment and the total graphic resulting from user participation.

There is also an archive of drawings and messages.

A purpose of the projecte would be to have a big mural that would show the complexity of the total user generated path.

Technical issues

The interface in ¡Corre! is developed in Flash, emulating and endless 3D space.

On the server there is a php/mysql application which saves the information in the database.

The drawings are saved also with the temporal information, so they can be regenerated as the user did draw it

Awards

¡Corre! was awarded in theVII Premio Andalucía Arte y Deporte, on december 2005, with a prize of 6.000€.
