When you move your mouse over the artwork, you can see the position of individual users' avatars and the number of followers they have. Space seems quite limited, so you need to hurry if you want to be a part of the project.

While the idea is interesting, it suffers from some obvious problems. First of all, what if someone tells Ashton? His enormous avatar in a picture frame wouldn't make much of an artwork. Secondly, the entire thing is a bit...unsightly. It reminds us of the Million Dollar Homepage, which was fun while it was being built, but ended up being quite an eyesore.

Yet the authors of the project, students from an interactive communication class at Berghs School of Communication, are quite serious about it. The artwork will eventually be turned into a physical piece by Swedish artist Jon Holm.

Just don't tell Ashton.
