A crowdsourced art experiment is a project that involves collecting contributions from a large group of people, often through the internet, in order to create a collective work of art. In this particular experiment, I used the platform Marketplace Clickworker and asked 30 people from different locations around the world to draw any object that is around them at the time.

Each person is given a prompt to draw an object, and they have the freedom to choose whatever object they like. They could draw something from their immediate surroundings, like a cup of coffee or a piece of furniture, or they could draw something more abstract, like a feeling or an idea. The goal of the experiment is to create a diverse collection of drawings that reflects the unique perspectives and experiences of the participating individuals.

Once all of the drawings have been collected, I intend to compile them into a single collection and display the results in some way, such as through an online gallery or a physical exhibition. By bringing together the work of many different people, the experiment would create a tapestry of artistic expression that reflects the collective creativity of the group.

The current dilemma I’m facing is making the crowdsourced drawing not seem arbitrary. One approach I intend to explore is providing some additional context or guidance to the participating individuals. For example, I could provide a theme or a specific set of instructions for the drawings, such as asking people to draw objects that represent their culture or their personal beliefs. This would give the participants a common starting point and help to ensure that the resulting drawings are more cohesive and coherent as a group.

Another way to avoid arbitrary-seeming results would be to carefully curate the collection of drawings after they have been submitted. The organizers could select only the most interesting or well-executed drawings to include in the final collection, and they could also group the drawings in a way that highlights common themes or connections between them. This would create a more cohesive and cohesive overall impression, and it would make the experiment feel more like a purposeful artistic endeavor rather than a random assortment of individual drawings.
