Pictures by Hive Mind

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the we-are-playboy-of-borg dept.

nofrance writes "A very interesting little experiment where multiple viewers get to select whether to set a single pixel to black or white, to help build a picture. All pictures can also be viewed as animations over time, often showing just how close the picture got to finished before returning to something closer to static."

    Ten thousand pixels every second. That's why the server is glowing red.

      It's a CGI script, all you're going to do is cache a static version of it.

  4. XBM images - black and white pixel master by nmoog · · Score: 4, Informative

    (Mostly off topic, but, heck.. what is the topic?)

    If you only get black and white pixels, I hope they are rendering them as XBM images. XBM is the coolest long-lost, widely supported image format - client side scriptable too!

    Sorry, this has been debunked. I was going to mod it down, but instead decided to just post the info:

    I've been actually quite surprised at the number of IT people that have been propagating this email. You'd think they'd be able to spot a fake a mile away.
