Gridcosm is a collaborative art project of the online art collective SITO, in which artists from around the world contribute images to a compounding series of graphical squares. Each ''level'' of Gridcosm is made up of nine square images arranged into a 3-by-3 grid. The middle image is a one-third size version of the previous level. Artists add images around that center image until a new 3-by-3 grid is completed, then that level itself shrinks and becomes the "seed" for the next level. This process creates an ever expanding tunnel of images, the newest level a direct result of the previous level which is a result of the previous level... and so on. To date, 300 artists have contributed more than 4000 levels (32000+ images) to the project. ==Gridcosm origins== The Gridcosm was started March 30, 1997 by founder of SITO, Ed Stastny. The project built upon the ideas and experiences with previous SITO collaborative projects ("Synergy" projects), many of which were grid-based. There have been many changes to the infrastructure of the Gridcosm since its 1997 inception. * Process of generating new level changed from manual to automatic after the first few levels * Software rewrite and move to database: mid-2000 * After 8 years, the background color of the Gridcosm page is changed from black to white: July 2005 * The ability for users to add "tags" to current and past levels: April 2006 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gridcosm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
