randomly generated pairing of image and text [permalink]

Anything is a [dynamic website, pointless experiment, fictitious book, waste of time, collaborative magazine, source of inspiration, diversion] that lets its contributors freely add/edit any image or text to it, as often as they wish. Don’t quite understand what this means?

In each of its 64 main pages, there is an area allocated for 1 image (left side) and 1 body of text (right side). Upon registration, each contributor is asked to choose whether they wish to upload image or text, and they are permanently assigned a random page (with another contributor).

In addition to the 64 pages, visitors can also click on Give Me Anything!, which randomly combines any of the currently available images and text to create a ‘new’ page.

This project is inspired by web sites like ffffound.com, Derek Powazek’s Kvetch.com, and Maura Johnston’s Bittersweets.org, and off-line projects like Christy-Claire’s Something Anything.

To contribute you must be invited by someone who has contributed already. Each contributor gets 5 invites to give out as they see fit. Currently it’s a bit image-heavy (33 image contributors, 6 text contributors), but I imagine that will change.

Visit the website and watch it grow!
