Ten Thousand Cents
Ten Thousand Cents
There is a reason why I don't draw as much as I used to; it's much faster to model sketches or compile images on the computer, and I think, why bother? Then something like "Ten Thousand Cents" comes along, and drawing makes sense again. The project is online, and workers were paid one cent each via Amazon's Mechanical Turk distributed labor tool. What they were drawing were tiny fragments of the 100 dollar bill, and combined all-together, it cost $100 to produce. It's simply a beautiful way of commenting on labor distribution.
