The Sheep Market

DateWednesday, December 19, 2007 at 07:49AM

Fun with Artificial Artificial Intelligence! The Sheep Market is a bizarre and intriguing collection of 10000 sheep drawings created by workers on Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Each worker was instructed to "draw a sheep facing left" and paid $0.02 for their troubles. You can actually watch the sheep being drawn. My favorite fact about this project is that 662 sheep were rejected - my imagination drools at the idea of what these rejections were based on. (Found through the Sub-Studio Design Blog).
