Reddit is bringing back its R/place project this April Fools Day, five years after the original experiment in 2017, in which “more than one million redditors placed approximately 16 million tiles on a blank communal digital canvas.”
In the beginning, all pixels in the project were white. Over the course of 72 hours, however, anyone could change a single pixel to one of sixteen colors. Each redditor could alter just one pixel every five minutes so that no single person could dominate, and groups soon banded together to create coordinated art.
