Coordinated by Baschz and SelfControlFreak, "Masterpiece 2.0" is a social media art project using Web 2.0. The basic concept is a multi-layered canvas and animation, created by online contributors through various social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, all using Web 2.0 software.
Each contributor added a new animated gesture to the previous picture. Once submitted, they were painted layer-by-layer into the growing animating canvas.
