Today Now

Visitors to the FLIK Film Festival in National Harbor, Maryland had the chance to interact with "Today Now," a MacBook set up to reorganize their appearance as a p6 symmetry pattern. Moving and gesturing changed the pattern. If they saw anything they liked, they could donate it to the public domain. The short documentary "The Creativity of Crowds" exhibits a few of their original contributions to the public domain.
