Exquisite Forest

Google and Tate Modern teamed up to produce a collaborative art project that will run for approximately 6 months beginning this week. Commissioned artist have started this forest of animated artwork by planting a "tree", representing an acorn of an animated idea. Collaborators then can add to that seedling, creating more branches as the artwork expands.
I once participated in an evening of collaborative animation which was titled Drinking and Drawing, where anyone who wanted to participate would be given a number of index cards and about 10 minutes to create a sequence based on the last frame of the previous contributor.
This project is much bigger in scope. Once you have collaborated, you can plant your own tree. You don't need to be an animator by training, but you should have an interest in it.
