iCE's Modern Version Of Old-Fashioned Quilting Bee

Posted by timothy on from the impressive-results dept.

Ant writes "tiles.ice.org is a Web site with a cool art idea as a tribute to Salvador Dali. It is iCE (remember ANSI art, you old school computer users?)'s answer to the old-fashioned quilt party, minus the gathering of elderly women. It's a unique opportunity for collaborative artwork on the net. A huge image, composed of individual 'tiles' is created, one piece at a time. The goal when making a tile is to mesh your work as smoothly as possible with the surrounding tiles, while creating something cool, artistic, and if applicable, on-topic. Check out the finished sample. I love the ants in the quilt tiles!"

    I remember iCE.. when I was begging for my board to be a distro in the Chicago area at the tender age of 13. RaDMaN from ACiD occasionally reads the slash - and as I understand it, ACiD is still an art group to this very day. I'm glad to see iCE is still around as well.

    Two thumbs up for L337 TheDraw skills.
