I completely lack the vernacular to describe my feelings about this other than to say I like it.  I like it a lot.  Erin, tell your big honcho boss to buy this.  I find it so incredibly meta and layered.

"Ten Thousand Cents" is a digital artwork that creates a representation of a $100 bill. Using a custom drawing tool, thousands of individuals working in isolation from one another painted a tiny part of the bill without knowledge of the overall task. Workers were paid one cent each via Amazon's Mechanical Turk distributed labor tool.

I especially like the mass participatory nature of this project, which was also simultaneously isolating for all the volunteers involved.   To me, it's the most accurate inaccurate representation of a $100 bill I've ever seen.

Do most definitely check it out.
