The below website presents the viewer with two images and a question. The question usually asks about an abstraction such as "love", "happiness", "fear, etc. It then asks the viewer/participant to click on the image in which most embodies that abstraction. The works gradually progress and change until it is completely agreed upon that it embodies its targeted abstraction.The site then gathers the results in an attempt to discover what we collectively think these abstractions look like. It seeks to take a look at the "collective consciousness" and to see if mankind as a whole agrees on a single visual representation of these abstract concepts. Aside from this very philosophical and intriguing experiment, it also offers up some beautiful artwork to experience. If you want to participate in this growing collaborative experiment, click here.
Below is an example of "love".
