Ten Thousand Cents

The Ten Thousand Cents Project:

Two fellows take ten thousand macro views of a $100 bill, each piece reconstructed makes up the full pic of the bill. They post each individual piece to Amazon’s mechanical turk and pay 10,000 people 1 cent to draw their version of the macro piece they are shown, but they don’t know what they’re drawing.

Below on the left are examples of real pieces of the bill, on the right is the representation, using a paint like program, where the person tries to replicate what they see.

As you can tell, not everyone made a good attempt, like the bottom two.
