Tattoo the earth, one pixel at a time. An interactive art project where anyone can claim a patch of Earth and paint it. Your artwork becomes visible to the entire world on a shared, live globe. The entire surface of the Earth is divided into approximately 510 million tiles, each representing a roughly ~1 km² patch. Each tile contains a 16×16 grid of 256 pixels. Every registered user gets exactly one free tile every hour. Click any unclaimed tile on the globe, claim it, and start painting.
Got my first tile claimed and the painting grid feels surprisingly snappy. Love that it just refreshes every hour so I can chip away at my little patch without pressure.
Where do the tiles get reassigned once the hour is up if I don't keep painting on the same one?
