Art for Everyone

Meant as a response to how art ceases to exist if it is produced in mass quatities, The Shape project, as it is called, is artist Allan McCollum’s system of producing 31 billion unique graphic shapes – each one representing a single human being on this planet when the population growth peaks in 2050.

The ‘system’ used to create the pieces is a collection of shapes that can be combined and re-combined into several unique results. So far, Allan has created over 200 million versions of them and hopes to re-use them for creative experimentation for other design and art projects.
