Collaborative art is nothing new. There's always been graffiti in big cities and writing on bathroom stalls.
But I'm interested in not only what, but also HOW and WHY. What's so intoxicating about writing where you're not supposed to? Why share something that will remain anonymous, something that will probably be painted over or covered up?
The internet has given a new outlet to this controversial art form. Websites like postsecret, fmylife, and even twitter allow strangers to come together and create a collage of secrets, of thoughts and ideas and confessions. Why are people so drawn to public (and often anonymous) forums? Should projects like these be considered art?
This study may extend into other areas....any place where people take ownership of technology or use a medium that no one else has thought of before.
