If you haven’t heard of the “One Second Film,” I recommend checking it out.
The film consists of 24 frames (1 second) of 12 different pieces of art, created by hundreds of artists.
To become a “producer,” you donate $1 to the group. (All of the proceeds are then given to charity).
And it’s being hyped as the largest collaborative art project ever. (Almost 10,000 producers in more than 50 countries).
The core group of organizers have trekked all the way to Chicago and parked outside Harpo to see if they can’t get Oprah to sign on. I wish them the best.
Here’s the Intro:
What I think is interesting… is the degree to which collaboration pervades the essence of their movement, right down to the the marketing and promotion of the event. It appears completely decentralized. And, with the exception of the 1 second film and the artwork, everything is licensed under the Creative Commons License.
I’d like to get down there to Harpo and check it out.
