- 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 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 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.
|
|
|
|
|
- The original version is constrained to a single piece of paper and is destined to be linear.
|
|
|
|
|
- Let’s 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.

- 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.
