Play! Collaborative interactive art – THE BROTH: THE GLOBAL MOSAIC

The Broth’s motto is “Be nice, work together, and have fun!” and it sticks. Influenced by Web 2.0 / Ajax applications and from Xbox Live for Xbox 360, a small group of developers out of Perth, Australia decided to harness these rich new technologies to create something truly open for the whole internet community. A way for the global community to get to come together, play, coexist, and create unique collaborative art in the form of The Broth: The Global Mosaic.

THE BROTH? Like cooking? Sorta. Many “cooks” create THE BROTH so to speak, and the name stuck. Basically, The Broth: The Global Mosaic is made of 1,000 tiles that are shared by everyone. Click on any mosaic tile and drag it around to create new artworks. When you move a tile, others can instantly see your moves and vice versa!

Let your creative inner (or outer) geek shine! The Broth: The Global Mosaic is meant to be art that is free of restrictions. No plug-ins, no flash, no fast computer to confuse anyone. In the words of The Broth developers, “People interact at the same time, beyond borders of language, age, gender or politics.” Go play (HERE)!
