Here's a time-lapse picture of how that played out over a period of 72 hours:
This is the most fascinating art-and-sociology project I have ever seen. The link above explains how factions emerged and coordinated, focusing on just a few of the things that happened (like how that American flag ended up in the middle).

I don't believe it. Too crazy.
I participate in a couple of subreddits, mostly for college football and various bands, and a lot of groups were very keen on being represented on r/place and keeping the designated art "clean."
If you look down in the lower left where a lot of college teams congregated, you'll see the Wisconsin logo made it to the end unscathed.
for some reason, it terrifies me.
This is amazing. Anthropological chaos. The American flag representing what it truly does represent. Meanwhile Germany tries to take over France.
I don't know how and I don't know exactly where. But I'm using this in at least one of my courses.
The Babymetal group was very proud to protect its own little corner, because it's such a niche band presumably badly outnumbered by other factions. Many attacks on the area were launched and repelled. But the fans are very devoted and determined.
Hmmm. Regular html links don't work in comments anymore? To see the image (really, no loss if you don't), just delete the extraneous "www.blogger.com/" from the url.
Lots of urban renewal and gentrification took place.
I am Laslo.
I like how no one touched the Linux penguin. They tried to start another Mona Lisa towards the upper right, but it didn't make it.
France and German flags would have both been fine if Germany hadn't insisted on horizontal expansion. snort.
It has 17 colors:
000 000 000
255 255 255
255 167 209
130 000 128
207 110 228

"I like how no one touched the Linux penguin"
No one fux with Tux.
Whole bunch of flags in there. I blame Trump.
The Stars and Stripes prevailed over the Void. Nuff said.
If they let it go for another 24 hours it would just be a silhouette of Trump with the words Big Brother at the bottom. Finally something useful to do for all those worthless bureaucrats.
I don't believe it. It's a meta April Fools joke.
Or people wrote programs to do it.
"France and German flags would have both been fine if Germany hadn't insisted on horizontal expansion. snort."
Germany's flag completely obliterating France's - what was that? A walk down memory lane, which in the case of Germans would be the Champs Elysees?
The dominant self-organizing groups were national. Not international, not racial, and not by social class.
Gotta make you depressed if you are a progressive.
Completely amazing.
The astounding thing is that it did not turn into a filthy cesspool.
It's art, but is it sociology?
Beautiful. Exciting. Enigmatic. Realistic. Contemporary in technique.
The Mona Lisa of the Internet.(on which the previous Mona Lisa could not survive)
Unlike Althouse, to me this feels like un-art. And, un-representative of our society.
I could blather about why, but don't want to because the chasm is so great.
Pick your battles, as they say.
Where was the porn?
it was a fun thing to be a part of. i think it captures the beauty of spontaneous order quite well.
Where no rules, order still emerges from chaos. Like the famous videos of rush hour traffic in Vietnam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4phFYiMGCIY
Who (if anyone) owns the copyright on the Final Canvas? It may be quite valuable. I see a future for the Final Canvas as one of the first great pieces of 21st Century art. In the future of course.
Why did the porn get overwritten?
Was this racist? Anti gay? Sexist? Heteronormative? Fascist? Some other sin against political correctness?
Do you like cherry ice cream?
Does this tell us that insects will take over the earth sooner than we expect?
Did the Russians do it? The Democratic National Committee? Why is there no picture of Putin?
Do these people need to get a life, or did they get a life already by doing this?
And why the fuck am I paying attention to this. (I blame you, Althouse.)
Somehow it all makes me think of the Kennedy Nixon debates. And Harry Reid.
Dota 2 logo is over by x:322 y:322 for reasons. (It's the red box with a diagonal black slash just above the Mona Lisa).
The accompanying article overplays the importance and durability of The Void.
Exam question: Is this fake news or real news? Explain your answer, but do so without mentioning Trump, Putin or anyone named Clinton.
"Was this racist? Anti gay? Sexist? Heteronormative? Fascist?"
Well, you may notice to the middle left, there is a small, decently rendered logo of the Galactic Empire. Not sure if that was the doing of r/empiredidnothingwrong or who it was.

people are really good at self-organization. Really, really good for a bunch of monkeys. Better than any real non-human monkeys. So good that when we see a group of monkeys self-organizing, we think they are acting like proper monkeys, when they are really coincidentally acting like people :), and people, of course, aren't monkeys at all.
The French always forget about the Ardennes.
I'm seeing a lot of flags. I wonder what the implications for nationalism worldwide are.
David, the only porn was the random dicks added onto other art, like Charmander, or the Pink Vomit Monster.
USA! USA! USA!
I love that that happened even though a regular meme on Reddit is hating on Americans.
We don't allow phones at the kitchen table while kids are eating, but we do allow browsing through reference books - newest one is The Dictionary of Cultural Literacy - we could make a dictionary of Internet Literacy from the final image.
Art or not, its funny.
Its got some interesting episodes.
I notice that wildly expansionist Germany overran France, which had to split to survive.
The Philippines put in a good early effort, got overrun by the imperialist pink thing, and reoriented vertically to end up surviving. Sometimes thats the best you can do.
This was a global game, and it shows.
It wouldn't take long to create a network of bots to do that.
Amazing that this all got done without funding from the endowment for the arts.
