50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

i have an idea…

  • blog

I have this idea to make something as a unique art project. It is either the craziest, dumbest, most impractical thing ever … or it’s a crazy, dumb, impractical thing that will be awesome.

I will need exactly one million people, from anywhere in the world, to make it happen. I wonder if that’s possible.

Feel free to speculate, if you’re into that sort of thing.

    Whatever it is, count me in. I’m sure it’ll be…. interesting, at the very least.

    Well, if it’s any sort of creative endeavor in which Canadians can partake, I’m in….only 999,999 to go!

  11. J says:
    26 July, 2017 at 3:50 pm

    That’s 1/3 of your twitter followers. I think it could work if it’s fairly low-effort.

  18. Craig says:
    26 July, 2017 at 3:56 pm

    Can I do it from the comfort of my own home? If so, it’s easy to say yes.

  19. Makayla says:
    26 July, 2017 at 3:57 pm

    What type of art is involved? Because I would love to help but also am very subpar at most of the fine arts.

  20. Joelynn Berge says:
    26 July, 2017 at 3:57 pm

    I am qualified to be one amongst a million so where do i submit my resume?

  21. amandarrrr says:
    26 July, 2017 at 3:57 pm

    Do it. Worst case you make something amazing with the people that participate, best case you get a piece of art with one million contributors.

    I’m in.

  36. Metz says:
    26 July, 2017 at 4:07 pm

  41. Anne Anne Gammage says:
    26 July, 2017 at 4:13 pm

    For sure! As long as I can participate from my region in Canada!!

    1. Wil says:
      26 July, 2017 at 4:16 pm

      You almost certainly would be able to. I just updated the post to reflect that.

  42. Josh Bokaie says:
    26 July, 2017 at 4:15 pm

    You got it, Wil.

  43. Kim says:

    The power of the internet is great. So…that idea can quickly turn into reality. No idea what it is, but I’m in.

  44. TJ42 says:
    26 July, 2017 at 4:15 pm

    I haven’t read “Steal Like An Artist” yet (even though I bought it this morning), but I’m game as long my contribution doesn’t require much cash or travel.

  45. Diana says:
    26 July, 2017 at 4:17 pm

    Is the plan to get 10 million people carrying signs that read, “You’re Fired”, and/or, “GET THE F”K OUT!!!”, to march into the White House together and crowd “him” out of the building and down the street (while kicking, “him”, square in his behind the whole way)? Because I will support that kind of a event.

  46. Janet says:
    26 July, 2017 at 4:19 pm

    Willing and ready to help out!

  47. Carla says:
    26 July, 2017 at 4:19 pm

    26 July, 2017 at 4:20 pm
