We make no pretense about being “all about the Benjamins.” However, we are particularly about this Benjamin because it’s actually the work of 10,000 international artists (each paid one cent using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk labor distribution tool), who could only see the tiny fragment of what they were working on. The result is a pretty accurately rendered $100 bill that cost $100 to make. Brainparents Aaron Koblin and Takashi Kawashima are both visual designers living in the San Francisco area, who wanted to create a project that exploited the notion of “crowdsourcing” (and, from the looks of it, the One Laptop Per Child project.) We’re currently soliciting one penny from 10,000 investment bankers to buy one.
