sheep x 10,000

Behold! 10,000 sheep!

The Sheep Market is home to 10,000 drawings of sheep. Pick one in miniature and witness it being redrawn, larger, before your very eyes!

The sheep were all drawn people using the intriguing Amazon Mechanical Turk , wherein people are paid to perform simple tasks instead of getting robots to do them. For example: draw a sheep facing left = earn 2 cents. Some things are just easier for people to do, plus this way, the robots can concentrate on their true passions, like taking over the world.

This project certainly rivals the bunny mandala. Bunnies vs sheep! Illustrators vs random online workers! Fight! Fight! Fight!
