Caption: Three Artists, Three Computers, And Access To The Internet (Scroll up to read.) So began an amazing five-year collaboration between three artists who've never met in person: Burnell Yow! from Philadelphia PA, Larry Parkes from Blooming Prairie MN, and David Walters from Newbury Park CA. The Digital Exquisite Corpse Project (DECP) has to date created 76 collaborative works of art based on the paper-folding surrealist game of the 1920s and 30s. In the trios unique digital version, the first artist creates a 3" X 7" 300ppi section in Adobe Photoshop and then emails only the bottom quarter inch to the next artist, who uses the “reference strip” to begin his section. He then emails the bottom quarter inch of his section to the third artist who then creates the final section. When all three sections are complete, they are put together to form one 7" X 9" image. The results are amazing and the works have been featured in Red Herring Magazine, Computer Graphics World Magazine, Digital Photography & Design Magazine, and the entire series was published on Andre Codrescu’s online journal, Exquisite Corpse: A Journal of Art & Letters. In 2001, two of the works from the series were selected as part of the top 100 digital images from around the world in the International Digital Art Awards exhibition.
