Riverrun - The Night for Books 2010

Riverrun could be described as an emergent Exquisite Corpse. Creators collaborate in the creation of a collective story in real time. Each person participates, using their own computer (client), by writing a small part of a collective story which is housed in a central computer (server). Each participant is asked to log on to the project from their own computer for a short period of time (the duration of the experiment). These creative experiments can be performed in different languages. The process and outcomes are made available online to the general public.
