  2. Aaron Koblin: Introduction • Range of work • Mediums and techniques • Underlying concepts • Project Studies: “The Sheep Market” & “ExquisiteForest” • Critical analysis • Project proposal

  3. Aaron Koblin: Range of work Koblin’s work takes real-world and community generated data and uses it to reflect on cultural trends and the changing relationship between peoples and the systems we create.

  4. Data from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration processed to create animations of flight traffic patterns and density.

  5. When you click on to the drawing you can see the process how they drew the image.

  6. He posted tasks on Amazon‘s Mechanical Turk site. Anonymously, 10,000 artists worked on drawing pieces of a $100 bill. And they paid one cent per piece (total $100).

  7. Mediums and Techniques • He use data and digital technologies to connect different drawings together to make a new project. • He develops his work for an interactive platforms on the webpage. • His techniques employed to do this by programming the drawing tools online. • Koblin develops his work using a combination of different people online, computer software and programming.

  8. Underlying Concepts(basic Ideas) His work takes the real world and information from the community and uses it to reflect cultural trends and the changing relationship between people and technology. • To combine people together using “net. Art”. • Everyone can be creative and can be part of it. • Using digital art to collaborative peoples idea.

  9. “This Exquisite Forest” is a Chrome Experiment that lets you create collaborative animations using an online drawing tool. Thousands of people from all over the world have contributed to the project, creating unique animationsand Animated Typography. Process/How this chrome experiment works: • The first player starts to tell a story and at a suitable point passes it on to the next person who continues the tale. They are free to embellish and elaborate before passing it on in turn themselves.

  10. “The Sheep Market” "The Sheep Market" by Aaron Koblin is a series of 10,000 simple images of sheep drawn by online workers. Stylistically the sheep range from the indecipherable to the extremely detailed and cute.

  11. How Koblin develops his ideas Inspired by the mechanical chess player, the Mechanical Turk on an Amazon page, he thought how just one person with just one computer software programmer, can reach thousands of people by writing a message on a web page. People can do some things much easier then a computer.

  12.  • The original mechanical Turk of the late 18th century was a chess grandmaster masquerading as a machine.

  13. Processingdrawingtoolforrecordingsheepanimation. Koblin thought he could ask thousands of people to do something from the computer. He developed a special programme to invite people to draw a sheep facing to the left for $0.02. (= £0.01)

  14. He collected the results, and put them together on a huge board. He then created a website called “the sheep market” and then sold the image of the sheep. After the project Koblin said : “When I saw the first sheep come through the system I knew I had made the right decision, as I had hoped, each sheep truly reflected the individual and humanity behind it.”

  15. My own critical analysis of Aaron Koblin I like his underlying concepts because he tries to exploit “peoples” creativity, while at the same time sheds light on the insignificant role each worker plays and combines it with other to create work of greater significant as part of a whole. Koblin’s projects letpeoplereflect theirindividuality and humanity behind their drawings.

  16. Aaron Koblin: Project Studies • Iwanttomakesomethingthatconnects different drawing styles together, and combinesthem on to a graphic image. • However, I am not surewhatthe narrativeisgoingtobe, soIam going to look at two of Koblin’s projects in a bit more detail • The Sheep Market • This Exquisite Forest
