Att skapa med och mot andra : Gemensamt skapande och digitalt konstutövande på r/Place

In this thesis, the hugely popular online art experiment r/Place is analyzed as an interesting example of digital art making and collaborative creation on a massive scale. This is done in an effort to contribute to the exploration of how art making and the artist’s role is shaped by a digital component as well as its accompanying opportunities, in this case collaboration. In the analysis the creations and participation of ten Reddit-communities taking part in the experiment are studied through the lens of semiotics and performativity. Through the analysis it was concluded that the art-making and resulting creations were not only shaped by the digital and shared nature of the format but also by the limited resources available, resulting in a strongly competitive atmosphere. The competitiveness highlights how two concepts often seen as opposites, creation and destruction, can be two sides of the same process depending on your perspective.
