Luis is organizing an effort to archive Openstudio drawings through Flickr. The Openstudio Flickr group is a place for folks to share drawings and other memorabilia:
Running from 2005 – 2008, Openstudio was an experiment in creativity, collaboration & virtual economics created by the Physical Language Workshop led by John Maeda at the MIT Media Lab. Participants created and sold artwork in an online marketplace using a virtual currency.
More than a thousand participants created and traded art in Openstudio. This group will function as a space to archive and share the content that former Openstudio users backed up before the site went down.
It’s fun to see that people have saved so many of their illustrations, and the hundreds of profile pages that Kyle has uploaded. I have a small collection of images, and hopefully you do, too! Thanks to Luis for getting this effort started!
