- The exquisite corpse is a multiplayer game invented by the surrealists. Its aim is to compose a collective drawing or a story.
- Traditionally the game is played on a long sheet of paper and each player draws a part.
- The next player should not see the drawing of the previous one. They only have a small hint from which to continue.

- "This goes on and on: the next player draws from the hint of the previous one without seeing the whole image."
- The result is a weird linear narrative. The transition between authors is both 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 a single piece of paper and is destined to be linear.
- Lets imagine our drawings forking and branching. Going in different directions.
- The way in which Exquisite Branch works recalls the flow of a version control system just like Git.
- "There are 2 ways to get to the Exquisite Branch:"

Then it's time to scribble
something or paint
a masterpiece.
- 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.
- It will have multiple versions with a common starting point.

On the website you
can either start a new
drawing, continue from
the last contribution or
view all the branches.
