|
- The exquisite corpse is a multiplayer game invented by the surrealists in which the participants compose a drawing or a story together.
|
||
|
|
- Traditionally the game is played on a long sheet of paper, and each player draws a part.
|
||
|
|
- The process requires to hide the drawing to the next person, but leaving them some hints to continue.
|
||
|
|
- The following fellow keeps draw from there and so on.
|
||
|
|
- The result is a weird linear narrative, in which the transition between authors are at the same time smooth and abrupt.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The Exquisite Branch is an online take on the game.
|
||
|
|
- It questions concepts such as authorship and collaboration in the light of the digital age.
|
||
|
|
- The original version is constrained to the single piece of paper and is doomed to be linear.
|
||
|
|
- Here we can imagine our drawings forking and branching and go in different directions.
|
||
|
|
- The way in which XB works recall the flows of a protocol like Git.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Instruction
|
||
|
|
- There are 2 ways to get to the XB
|
||
|
|
- either you navigate to https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/xquisite #TODO: QRCODE
|
||
|
|
- or you receive a link from someone pointing to a specific branch
|
||
|
|
- you can either start a new drawing, continue from the last contribuition or view all the branches
|
||
|
|
- then it's time to scribble something or paint a masterpiece
|
||
|
|
- and when you are done you can submit the drawing
|
||
|
|
- you will receive a new link to share with others.
|
||
|
|
- They will continue from your drawing, so leave some hints!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- If you pass the link to just one person the xquisite drawing will continue linearly
|
||
|
|
- but if you pass it to several people it will branch
|
||
|
|
- resulting in multiple version with a common starting point.
