After searching through the site a little bit, I discovered the exquisite corpse game taken to the next level! Many of us have played this game as children or read about it in class. We have introduced the idea of creating sculptures based off the final product, adding new materials and creating a collage, and now Brendan Oliver and Brendan Randall have reinterpreted the game to create Le Cadavre Exquis.
Members of the public are invited to record a short stop-frame animation as a response piece to a previously recorded submission. The piece is uploaded online within minutes and textual narrative is then created by online participants through a narrative suggestion feature.

As for response from the audience, "Some people have been reflective, a few declined but the overwhelming majority have been excited and more than happy to be involved in something creative and user-generate."

This interactive piece follows the new media literacy of performance (the ability to adopt the alternative identities for the purpose of improvisation and discovery). By having the audience dress up in costumes and react to previous videos, they create the stop motion clip by improvising and reacting to what they see.
Check out my post about Participatory Culture for more information about all of the new media literacies!
