A game invented by artists and thinkers in the Surrealist period. The game was called "Exquisite Corpse,". The first participant would draw the topmost part of a picture and then fold over the paper so that only a few lines showed. The next player would use those lines to continue the picture, similarly folding over the paper when he was done. The resulting picture would be quite humorous.


You most likely are wondering why I dont start. That is because I am not a real artist. I just fake it.

heh, yeah it is kind of hard to do an abstract photomanipulation exquisite corpse.. and kind of defeats the purpose of the whole "corpse" concept In my experience with traditional EQ it usually goes vertically starting with the head, ending with a neck of some sort, then a torso and finally the lower portion of the body.

but annyway, i'd be game if i could find some time.. who wants to start?

i agree with napalm this normally goes from top to bottom,..
but this should also have a time limit,..
and rather than just two people adding it should be everyone,.
going from tope to bottom,. we should have the tallest image imagineable,.
500 wide, and 22000 tall,.
yea that's the ticket,.

everyone does a 500x200 cutout of it,.

just a thought,.

excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain what "playing exquisite corpse" means?

BTW, I like B's idea.

to explain a little more for those who are still a little lost(kinda like me :P):

what i guess their saying about the folding over is, someone draws a little bit and then folds the paper in half, then it is continued from the last part of the drawing. but the part you are working on will actually be on a different part of the paper cause it was folded over. then when its folded out you will have a corpes that is all messed up????(? because this is more of a question than an answer, heh)

it sounds cool, but how would it work with the paper folding and turning digitally? or do you have this all worked out? smeif!
