On April 1 2017, 📝Reddit launched Place, a collaborative art project. Users could edit any single pixel on a 1000 by 1000 square, choosing from a palette of 16 colors. After editing a pixel, they had to wait between 5 and 20 minutes before they could place another. The resulting community generated artwork demonstrated the forces that drive how cultures evolve. [1]
