===================================================================
Welcome to SwarmSketch: Collective sketching of the collective
consciousness.

SwarmSketch is an ongoing online canvas that explores the possibilities
of distributed design by the masses. Each week it randomly chooses a
popular search term which becomes the sketch subject for the week. In
this way, the collective is sketching what the collective thought was
important each week. (Due to increased traffic sketches are currently
being updated after about 1000 lines)

Each user can contribute a small amount of line per visit, then they are
given the opportunity to vote on the opacity of lines submitted by other
users. By voting, users moderate the input of other users, judging the
quality of each line. The darkness of each line is the average of all
its previous votes.

We are currently sketching "Pumpkin Carving", come in and contribute a
line.

Alternatively, you may like to browse the previous sketches and view
animations of their progression.

SwarmSketch was developed by Peter Edmunds as part of an honours project
at the University of Canberra. If you have any comments or suggestions,
